Monorail! Vapourware! Marsden Point is not Whangarei! Including embarkation/disembarkation and a drive out to the port, and the effects of weather on seaops what time is actually going to be saved here?

Anyway, to paraphrase STP, someone is porking the VC pig here.

Seagliders also seem like a cheaper, more sustainable way to move people quickly across archipelagos - whether in Hawai’i, the Philippines, or the southwest islands of Japan.

Seagliders are still a possibility in and around Hawai’i.

If I were INDOPACOM J81, I’d look at a public-private partnership with the State of Hawai’i and local businesses to buy down startup costs and launch the program elsewhere in the Pacific.
