Musk is Boring...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSowW0rjRpM
Musk's Boring Company is going to create a 100 MPH mass transit system in three years to serve Chicago's airport.
Of course, Boring technology could be v. v. useful on Mars.

HS2 hails ‘remarkable achievement’ as it completes excavation of longest tunnel
Excavation of HS2’s longest tunnel has been completed after a second machine reached the end of its 10-mile journey under the Chiltern Hills.
The machine, named Cecilia, broke through on Thursday at a site near South Heath, Buckinghamshire.
It was one of two tunnel boring machines (TBMs) digging a twin-bore tunnel with a depth of up to 80 metres that will be used for HS2 trains travelling between London and Birmingham.
They excavated the tunnel, lining it with 112,000 pre-cast concrete wall segments and grouting them into position, moving forward at an average speed of 16 metres per day.
“Cecilia’s arrival completes excavation of HS2’s 10-mile twin-bore tunnel, but it’s only the end of the first chapter in the story of building Britain’s high-speed railway under the Chiltern Hills.
The TBMs, which each have a diameter of 10.25 metres, were manufactured in Germany by specialist company Herrenknecht.
