absolutely losing my mind that they're making a game called "indiana jones and the great circle" and literally the first screenshot i see of it is this
"the circle we're after? it's even better than this one"
He's looking for the remnants of the original prototype they used to test the technology for the pneumo-gravitic cargo tunnel that goes Alameda to Weehawken.
The prototype used the great-circle distance instead of the chord line because tunnel boring machines hadn't been tested to that depth by 1947, when the United States Department of Defense and the United States Department of Agriculture were looking for a new way to weaponize the husks left after extracting the kernels from dent corn (industrial corn).
Big mid-20th century archaeologically breakthrough if he pulls it off. I hear the entire department at Princeton is rooting for him.
