What happened to hyperloop? 🤣 🤣
Turns out making a low-pressure vacuum tube that spans 100+ miles, but lets small pods full of people be inserted on demand, was way harder and more expensive than predicted, making it poorly price competitive with existing technology like high-speed rail. For some reason.
Yeah has been since 1904 when the guy that invented liquid rockets had the same idea and the same conclusion. Doesn’t mean it can’t work with some effort and study even if in small areas but we suck at practical small scale thinking and humans want big answers or none.
What do you mean? Hyperloop is still in development.
At this rate, fusion energy will be here first.
That’s more because fusion has had a couple of amazing breakthroughs recently
