The basic concept of the gravity train as proposed by Hooke to Newton is exciting but seems impossible to engineer on Earth. The liquid core is a big problem, as is the need to empty all the air out of the tunnel to eliminate friction from the air. Both of those problems are non-existent on the Moon, however. Would it be possible with today's technology to construct a gravity train through the Moon? (Assuming there was a practical need for such a train.) If not, what new technologies would need to be invented? What engineering problems would have to be overcome?
