Which would be more expensive: a personal SpaceX flight to the Moon, or personally funding a high-speed rail line from Seattle to Vancouver?

Definitely rail, which is something like a zillion dollars per mile. The moon trip is only $40-160M.

$40-$160M? I didn't realize just how far the price had fallen for a literal moonshot... Thanks!
