Time Travel, Today
Like all precious resources, time is worth saving.
Virgin Hyperloop aims to do just that, by transporting passengers hundreds of miles per hour through a nearly airless vacuum tube. Distances that once took months to travel, and today take hours, will require just minutes.
After a successful test with human passengers in the Nevada desert in November 2020, plans are now underway to develop the hyperloop for commuter use. This is the first public display of Pegasus, the pod from this test run.
Given its incredible speed and its light ecological footprint (compared to highways), hyperloop may very well be the future of transport. And like previous transportation breakthroughs -- trains, planes, and automobiles -- it could radically transform our social fabric. How can we ensure there's a seat for everyone on this fast track to the future? |
