      Comment on "The first RECTANGULAR Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)!"

      Although the area cut is rectangular, the cutting is still done circularly though. OK that is not surprising. But I don't get it. The small cutting heads do not cover the whole surface. Or is it me missing something?

                Elon Musk was not a rocket scientist either. I am sure those rockets are more complicated than tunnel boring machines.

                    ' thanks to the Japanese engineers' contributions to tunnel boring machine technology'? Are you serious? The last time I checked it was the USA a.k.a Robbins, who invented TBM and took it further than anyone else.
