A new, full-size Hyperloop capsule designed to carry passengers at 1,000 kilometers per hour (620 mph) was unveiled Tuesday, offering a glimpse at what could be the future of travel. Hyperloop is the megafast, cutting edge transport technology first envisaged by controversial business magnate Elon Musk. It"s designed to transport people through low-pressure steel tubes at speeds to match a typical passenger aircraft. Several companies are now competing to be the first to make the Hyperloop concept a reality.  Hyperloop Transportation Technologies , a US start-up with no connections to Musk, hopes its new full-size prototype capsule puts it ahead in the game. The sleek capsule was unveiled Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain, near where it was constructed at the aerospace facilities of Airtificial, a partner of HyperloopTT. Billed as "an airplane without wings," the aim of Hyperloop is to permanently disrupt how we travel long distances. Several Hyperloop routes are currently in...

Space Exploration Technologies Corp popularly known as SpaceX, is a private American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services. Its headquarters located in Hawthorne, California. Founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. Yesterday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk gave an update on the design of SpaceX’s future massive rocket , the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), during an event announcing the first passenger who will fly on the vehicle—Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, a 42-year-old Japanese billionaire and founder of online fashion mall Zozotown, signed with SpaceX to fly around the moon on the company"s next generation rocket. Maezawa will attempt to be the first to return to the moon in nearly half a century, launching aboard a Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), which SpaceX is developing. BFR is the flagship for Musk"s vision of creating a permanent, self-sustaining human presence on Mars, ...

This week has been a rocky one for Facebook after the scandal involved with the British political consulting firm which allegedly extracted the data of 50 million users on Facebook for shady purposes. Following this revelation, many people took to Twitter to announce that they would quit using the social network with the #deleteFacebook which went viral.  While many users decided to defend Facebook, it came as a shock that Elon Musk, owner of Tesla and SpaceX joins the bandwagon. The entire show started after Brian Acton, the co-founder of WhatsApp coined the #deleteFacebook hashtag on Twitter. It began as a dare game on Twitter but resulted in the significant news. The day the Federal Trade Commission opened an investigation into the case of Cambridge Analytica and Facebook, Mr. Acton tweeted, "it"s time to #deleteFacebook." In response, Musk stated, "What"s Facebook?" It wasn"t sure if he was joking, but another tweeter decided to begin a truth and...

Elon Musk"s new startup, the Boring Company will focus on hyperloop and tunnels designed for pedestrians and cyclists. Initially, the thought behind the Boring Company was to make a system of passages in which cars would stop on electric sleds to be propelled at top speed inside these tunnels.   [xyz-ihs snippet="Elon-Musk-Boring-Company"] But the concept grew to incorporate another Elon Musk idea; the hyperloop , a comparable transportation framework that additionally incorporates a direct framework to diminish the pressure inside the tunnels all together for the sled, or more probable "units", to movement at considerably quicker speeds. The video below is the original idea the Boring Company provided last summer. [xyz-ihs snippet="Boring-company-initial-idea"] The bus (seen quickly in the first Boring Company video) is planned to convey individuals and bicycles, and Musk said that Boring Company"s loop system would have thousands of small stati...
