      Hyperloop is still in it's early stage. I believe as time goes on and society advances, engineers will find ways to make it more safe, before it is fully implemented. Also, as this mode of travel develops, I believe they will be able to find ways in which it can be used in every developing country.
      I love to see progress, and this solves a desire for most people in society which is to travel from one country to another very quickly.
      It makes the world feel even more connected.
      Reading people criticizing something like this when it's too new reminds me of when I read historical documents of people who criticized cars, trains and airplanes when they first came out.
      Often defending that horses and boats were safer and cheaper.
      We have to start somewhere when advancing. It may not be completely safe in the beginning, but it doesn't mean it won't always be that way.
      Truthfully, all of the modes of travel, while they became safe enough to be implemented in society, still pose a safety risk. I only add this because of your sabotagable comment.
      If you look far enough, every mode of travel is sabotagable with or without intent.
      And every mode of travel when it started out, costed a lot of money and was very expensive for the people of that time. Yet, its impact was recognized when it brought in new economic opportunities and helped the development of the society.
      Besides Hyperloop reimagines transportation. Which means it wants to improve on existing travel, not be completely similar to existing travel. So why use the same tracks? We have to think past that if we want to develop.
      To be able to live and work in different cities that aren't super close to each other sounds pretty cool.

Airplanes make turns when they could just fly a straight line - this will be a 1000 mile vacuum tube going through terrain - no turns? It's great in theory - in practice it won't work imo.

      I see some people comparing this to a plane. It’s a stupid comparison, because planes are up in the air free, and have more accessible ways to exit. This Hyperloop is in a tight tube, where there are other machines like these. If we assume that each machine moves at 120 MPH, it will take 6 seconds to decelerate and stop completely. However, once the stuck machine enters the field of view, it’s already too late. That doesn’t even mention the fact of accidental leaks which can cause explosions, earthquakes, and just friction.

      Considering the pumps are active, loss of power (prime cause of the carriage stopping) means air will just rush back into the tube and none of it will be sucked oit. They'd combine it with a 1 way valve that's probably also held shut with electromagnets. Loss of power releases the valve, and the natural phenomenon of pressure equalisation does the rest.
      Undoubtedly the crew will be given breathing apparatus and there will be manual kill switches for the pumps /valve locks in the tube so they can climb out and turn them off.

      The passenger transport units will be sealed obviously... of course the question then is how it get's back to the station.
      Assuming it still has power there is a non-maglev motor that pulls it along slowly back the station. If it has no power or the backup motor doesn't work, then it could be towed/pushed. And if fr some reason it's really stuck... then the tube will need to have the vacuum removed slowly so the passengers to get out and onto a recovery vehicle.

      very true. another reason why this technology wont improve anything is, because it won´t ever exist on a large enough scale to cause an impact. if it ever becomes operational, then maybe as a gimmick. (like for example a shuttle at the dubai airport)
      upscaling just wont be viable bacause you are constantly fighting the laws of physics in so many unnecessary ways. which isnt a good idea for a so called "revolution of transportaiton". this will be a very expensive pipedream (huehue) and i would say its equally unrealistic as theranos was.

    This will never be used on a large scale and will remain a niche product for rich oil states that need some more toys. Just look at the building and maintenance cost of this thing. It's an even more complex version of current MagLev trains. And the MagLev train line which is curently under construction in Japan currently sits at over 80 billion dollars in building cost. So multiply that times 5 and then you get a rough idea of what such a Hyperloop track will cost. It's not for no reason that we are still using the same rail technology as in the 19th century....

      Given enough time, hyperloop *could* work in some capacity. It's not impossible, it's just hugely inefficient and impractical. It's a boondoggle and I don't think it's really a secret. High profile, speculative projects like this are great marketing and raise money for R&D teams to fund tangentially related projects. It doesn't matter if it works or not.
