I must admit that it sounds intriguing but what about claustrophobic people?? That tube is tiny!! While it is very good that they are finally releasing some 'tech' that only the elite use, couldn't they give us the new stuff instead of their old, outdated technology?? Susoni *********************************************************** Inside the Hyperloop: the pneumatic travel system faster than the speed of sound It is called “The Hyperloop” and, according to the designer, it will be a revolutionary “fifth mode” of transport, eclipsing trains, planes, boats and automobiles. The “cross between Concorde, a rail gun and an air hockey table” will deliver passengers between US cities faster than the speed of sound. The history of transport is replete with dreamers who have concocted such schemes for getting people from A to B in previously unimagined haste. And many of them have remained just that, impractical ideas on a drawing board that will never see the light of day. The Hyperloop: the pneumatic travel route faster than the speed of sound But the latest mysterious project, which has had the technology world buzzing for months, has one crucial difference. Its backer is a Silicon Valley wunderkind with a proven track record of turning science fiction into reality. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10235261/Inside-the-Hyperloop-the-pneumatic-travel-system-faster-than-the-speed-of-sound.html
