    I mostly agree with the statement but the Hyperloop wasn’t solving a solved problem. Isn’t mean to replace trains is meant to replace planes that rely on fossil fuels for international flights and even go faster than that. The basis of function is sound to my understanding but is probably too costly to implement mostly for economies in crisis, I never was sure if it was really as cost effective as they said it was.

        Ok, sure, but what about hyperloop IN SPACE!

        I’ll be happy to discuss my brilliant new invention with anyone who still has money left over from this project.
