It’s wild how ideas like Hyperloop were seen as reasonable ideas 10 years ago. The naivety.
Even universities fell for the ruse. Like so much talent was wasted by having these hyperloop university projects.
And even if it was physically possible to build one it would cost multiple times more than just building a maglev line. Not to mention the maintenance it requires.
As if universities aren't in on the capitalism grift.
It wasn’t just US universities it was also publicly funded European universities that wasted money on those hyperloop projects.
