What if the future isn’t built on entirely new technology—but on old ideas used in new environments?

In my latest In 100 Years article, I explore a simple but surprisingly powerful idea:

Trains.

Not as nostalgia—but as a realistic solution for future transportation, even on the Moon.

Maglev systems already demonstrate incredible speed and efficiency here on Earth. When you consider airless environments, shared pressurized cabins, and the need for safe, reliable infrastructure, trains begin to make even more sense.

Sometimes the future isn’t about replacing everything.

Sometimes it’s about rediscovering what already works.
