The hyperloops kinda  a neat idea, but theres a damn good reason its remained on the drawing board for over a hundred years, while rockets, that were on the drawing board at about the same time, have now left the drawing board and taken us to the moon!

Bringing 'space' type vacuums down to the surface of the Earth is hard, and dangerous!  The more so if you want to fly through that space at almost the speed of sound within a few cm of an outside wall.

oh yeah... and nothing more annoying that people who havent read the documentation saying 'read the documentation'... grrrr!

Elon Musks Hyperloop: BUSTED!

its ironic in many ways that so many people wanted to defend the hyperloop by claiming it was Elon Musks invention, and that hes a genius who invented rockets and electric cars. In reality, Elon Musk made it rich on software. Hyperloop alpha document for anyone interested!

Elon's electric spacecraft will be powered by solar panels in Elon's underpants.

Pity. Good idea (I remember the old vacuum tubes they used to send mail in), but it doesn't scale very well. Proves even clever millionaires can have bad ideas. Ah well, one day his engineers will tell him it can't be done, and he will move on to something else.
