Brogan BamBrogan Is Taking the Hyperloop to Colorado
____________________
https://www.wired.com/story/hyperloo...daily_list1_p4 " Brogan BamBrogan (yup, his legal name) " " Arrivo has made a more fundamental change: It’s dumping the vacuum and accepting that it will have to push through the pesky, drag-inducing air molecules that make supersonic ground travel so difficult. Building a tube and keeping it in a near-vacuum state is simply too complicated and expensive, BamBrogan says, to make it worth trying. ...his pods will max out around 200 mph. That’s nowhere near supersonic, but considering Arrivo’s focus on short, direct routes, between 10 and 60 miles, it’s plenty quick. "
