I just don't see how this can work. I saw previews for this, saying it would take like 3 months to travel on it.

I think this is the most efficient way to transport cargo outside of our atmosphere. An achievement like this could change the world as we know it. Currently, I think the cost of space transport is about $10K per pound (please correct me, if I'm wrong). With something like this, it could be incredibly cheaper -- making space exploration and development much more feasible. I could see this happening within the next 20 years.
