I think that's backward. We've been laying down transit infrastructure on public and private land for a couple hundred years now, but an 800 mph vacuum tube train is the stuff of an undergraduate engineering thesis (if not a term paper), still highly conceptual.

That's fair, but what I was trying to get at is that if you have a highly conceptual idea on the level of an engineering thesis, does it make sense to go out and start trying to bargain for public and private land? Shouldn't you determine if it's feasible and desirable from an engineering perspective first (or at least, in parallel)?
