Nik Krasno | 19850 comments There is loop and there is hyperloop. The pilot of the former is about to be launched in LA in December: https://www.cnet.com/news/elon-musks-...
Another ambitious and potentially game changing project. Although inventions, patents and improvements are multiple, something grand and pivotal are much more rarer. Musk is one of those looking at the grander scales.
If successful, do you expect loops spreading underneath like world wide web?

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 8073 comments I have a question. How much of the earth below your property does one own the rights to? I know rights to air space are limited. Would Musk have to get clearance from each property owner?

Nik Krasno | 19850 comments Wouldn't know for sure, but hope not and hope appropriate easements, where necessary, can solve legal issues...

Nik Krasno | 19850 comments So, will the loops happen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlVv6... or like pneumatic deliveries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumat... won't get that much traction for various drawbacks?

Nik Krasno | 19850 comments We need to see an operational version to evaluate
