Hyperloop is bullshit in straw
> giant tube with vacuum = single vacuum failure destroys the whole track and kills everyone in it
> promoted San Francisco - LA goes through earthquake hazard areas
> testing miniloop was ~1km long (0.1% of SF-LA distance), pods failed and demonstrates no solutions for issues in big scale tracks
> no heat expansion solution in whitepapers
that shit just isn't realistic, already very expensive for non-existing project
SpaceX and reusable rockets
> wasting hundreds of billions $ on explosions
> fueling failure explosion in 2016 with bull $61b cargo, NASA's last fueling failure was in 1960
> reusable spacecrafts were already a thing for 30y with space shuttles and good'ol parachutes, Falcon only saves fuel tanks in addition
> reusing parts sounds like higher failure risk, good that it's not done by company with history of failure due to weaker policies

Tesla cars are pretty ok. Good solid cars. Some might claim that batteries are still expensive to build and mining oil is more gentle than metals for batteries, but they really pushed the battery market and technology. Still skeptical until some next gen batteries hit in.

Yeah, OP, complain. That's the only thing you can do. For sure you can't innovate or have a lasting impact on the world like the guy in the picture you posted. Clearly, complaining is the way to go for you. So complain away.

Fuck off.

Hyperloop is a very effective project in that it funnels large amounts of government funding to Elon's companies.

Not any more.

I think your criticisms of spacex are bullshit. The point of the reusable rockets is that the space shuttles were super expensive to refurbish between launches. They weren't end of lifed because they didn't work anymore but because the program was bleeding money. If spacex is doing better then it isn't wasting money. Sure NASA might not of had that specific type of failure in a while but they weren't innovating on rockets either and spacex had sure put more junk in orbit recently than NASA.

Science is failure, failure is science.
Can you do better?
