Default Hyperloop

I'm a little boggled that separate searches for "hyperloop" and "elon" and "musk" didn't turn up any discussion of the hyperloop here. Is it possible that we've never discussed it? I think not. Anyway, looks like it's getting serious. :trainrek:

Sounds like a bug in the forum code. You'd better get busy on that.

Interesting idea, and the knowledge of how your bank deposit feels when you launch it back to the teller.
Energy consumption and cost are almost always game killers. I imagine it being awfully cost prohibitive for most of us.

Maybe it could powered by gravity, like the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel.
