Re: Hyperloop
It's cool that somebody actually might try to build one. Private business sucks at infrastructure without massive government subsidies, though, if only to deliver mundane stuff like right-of-way, station real estate, utilities and roads, etc. The story doesn't say what government is on board or where they intend to build it.

300 mph on a train isn't fast enough for you?

Nope, I want to be able to go to say Chicago and hang out then return home and for it to be the equivalent of taking the bus across town now. In both speed/hassle AND price.LordMortis wrote:300 mph on a train isn't fast enough for you?

Re: Hyperloop
And since they invoked the Concorde as their goal, you can expect the price to be both testicles plus your non-dominant arm.Rip wrote:Nope, I want to be able to go to say Chicago and hang out then return home and for it to be the equivalent of taking the bus across town now.

Re: Hyperloop
The hyperloop is dead for real this time
Hyperloop One, the futuristic transportation startup that promised to whisk us through nearly airless tubes at airline speeds, is shutting down, according to Bloomberg.
The company is selling off its assets, closing down its offices, and laying off employees. It will formally close at the end of the year, at which point all of its intellectual property will shift to its majority stakeholder, major Dubai port operator DP World. Whoever buys the test track in the Nevada desert will have one hell of a Slip ‘N Slide if they want it.
Since its founding in 2014, the company raised around $450 million in venture capital funds and other investments. While there is still a small smattering of startups trying to build hyperloops, the demise of one of the biggest hyperloop companies signals the end of the dream that originated with Elon Musk’s so-called “alpha paper” in 2013.
