Demonstration
I believe that this project needs a demonstration that
would prove to the world that the Moki Passage concept would
work and have the benefits that this paper said it
would.
If I were choosing that project I think that a run from
Tucson, Arizona to Phoenix to The Grand Canyon and then
perhaps to Las Vegas would be best. This route would provide
the appropriate engineering challenges and would showcase the
Moki Passage to the world in nature's most spectacular
extremes. This route might also be fun and frivolous and by
being so riders might tolerate bugs in design with less
urgency. It would also run through Tusayan, the country of
the Moki people. These people survived in the wild, free,
empty, sun-nurtured part of Arizona and are this system's
namesake. I do not believe that the demonstration should be
designed to solve specific problems such as getting from a
city center to the airport. The demonstration should be
designed to capture and hold the imagination of its riders so
that they might participate in the application of the Moki
Passage to their needs.
If you might think that this is too large a demonstration you
might be thinking in the box of earth changing highways and
heavy automobiles.
