I can’t stop watching this video of a rocket-powered train breaking the MagLev speed record

It’s not transporting anyone to any destination either, but it does levitate with impressive speed it’s definitely a sight to behold. The U.S. Air Force recently conducted an experiment where it accelerated a sled on a magnetic levitation track at 633 miles per hour, which just happens to be the new world record for maglev. That's more than 120mph faster than in previous runs.
