The most amazing aspect of such a transportation system is that it is completely self-sufficient and no additional fuel is necessary.

It would definitely be the next man made wonder if such an incredible feat is achieved. But then again, it do is a very dangerous proposition. After all, who knows what damage one might cause to the planetary body by boring straight thru.
