First full-scale hyperloop passenger capsule unveiled

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. unveiled its first full-scale passenger capsule, offering the world a peek at the future of travel.

The capsule, 105 feet (32 meters) long and weighing 5 tons, was shown in Spain and will be moved to Toulouse, France, for additional assembly before it’s used on one of the first commercial tracks, the California-based startup, known as HyperloopTT, said in a statement.

Wonder if it's flame retardant

The thing that scares me about these hyperloops, is that if something goes wrong the passengers will be instantly vapourized at 1200km/h

And before you mention airplanes, the sky is a vast open space. We are talking about tubes here with no margin for error.

I hope we will get this kind of technology.
