Finding a seat on those rockets must be a nightmare- By the time you’ve got to an empty seat, the rocket will have reached the other side of the world. They probably have the same problem getting off. Or, they have enormous platforms.
Hey, I remember those articles in “Popular Science”!
Don’t blame all that stuff on Kirby…
Am I allowed to blame Kirby for the picture that says “Kirby” on it?
What kind of security checkpoints do you have to go through for that ride?
The reason the trip is so fast is that by the time you get to the other side, the entire train and everything on it has been melted down into slag by passing through the Earth’s molten core.
I like the “Mortal Kombat 2” movie’s version of that… Casually whizzing by the Earth’s core without breaking a sweat. Their kung-fu mojo is mo’ bettah.
Not just geologically challenged, but geographically. Diametrically opposite from New York City would be somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

“But sir, isn’t the line created by those two points is bisected by molten death?”
“Don’t pester me with details, I’m too brilliant to question!”
