Скачать или смотреть Hyperloop to Australia? Elon Musk Explains Why It's a BAD IDEA and Offers a Better Solution!

When will a hyperloop potentially be ready, and can we get to Australia? I would not recommend it for going to Australia, because Australia is really far! Where something like the hyperloop would work best is for distances that are maybe 500 miles, probably not more than 1000. And that's because if you compare to, say, alternative being supersonic air transport, in order to go really fast with a plane you have to climb pretty high because the atmosphere just looks like molasses when you're going fast. So, for distances, certainly under 500 miles, you spend all your time just ascending and descending. And you don't really get an opportunity to spend your time at cruise. However, once you get to long distances then the cost of the tube starts to become a big factor. And so, then I'd say it's probably the right move to go to supersonic transport because you're spending a large percentage of your time at cruise. And you could probably get there faster with a supersonic aircraft.
