Prefrock-2 which is the current interaction of the boring machine has been designed to mine up to 1 mile per week. That's enough to do the Las Vegas strip which is 4 miles in a month.
Prufrock-3, a next-gen machine that will supposedly be able to handle 7 miles per day.
As a point of reference, less than 20 miles of underground subway tunnel has been constructed in the United States in the last 20 years.
A while back they were talking about doing a hyperloop which seems like it would end up being too costly.
Though a simple system under the major cities would help the traffic problem. Then connecting major cities such as DC to Baltimore or San Francisco to L.A. is another possibility.
Could we soon be boring 100+ miles per year in tunnels? Would this be better than the idea of doing high-speed rail? Thoughts?
