past coverage as 29 00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:33,830 you may recall from our past coverage as far as 2018 30 00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:33,840 far as 2018 31 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,750 far as 2018 that the top speed for the hyperloop is 32 00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:35,760 that the top speed for the hyperloop is 33 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,150 that the top speed for the hyperloop is said to be a thousand kilometers an hour 34 00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:38,160 said to be a thousand kilometers an hour 35 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,990 said to be a thousand kilometers an hour and while this is only a fraction of 36 00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:40,000 and while this is only a fraction of 37 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,150 and while this is only a fraction of that ambition it's a big step toward 38 00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:42,160 that ambition it's a big step toward 39 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:43,990 that ambition it's a big step toward hyperloop transportation becoming a 40 00:00:43,990 --> 00:00:44,000 hyperloop transportation becoming a 41 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,350 hyperloop transportation becoming a reality 42 00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:45,360 reality 43 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,430 reality virgin hyperloop is not the only firm 44 00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:47,440 virgin hyperloop is not the only firm 45 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,350 virgin hyperloop is not the only firm developing the concept but nobody has 46 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:49,360 developing the concept but nobody has 47 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,830 developing the concept but nobody has carried passengers before 48 00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:51,840 carried passengers before 49 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,830 carried passengers before sarah lucian director of customer 50 00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:53,840 sarah lucian director of customer 51 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,910 sarah lucian director of customer experience was one of the two on board 52 00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:55,920 experience was one of the two on board

rather 63 00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,149 josh geigel wore normal clothing rather than flight suits for the event 64 00:01:08,149 --> 00:01:08,159 than flight suits for the event 65 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:10,149 than flight suits for the event which took place on sunday afternoon 66 00:01:10,149 --> 00:01:10,159 which took place on sunday afternoon 67 00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:12,789 which took place on sunday afternoon outside of las vegas miss lucian said 68 00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:12,799 outside of las vegas miss lucian said 69 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,550 outside of las vegas miss lucian said the journey was smooth and not at all 70 00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:14,560 the journey was smooth and not at all 71 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,910 the journey was smooth and not at all like a roller coaster 72 00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:15,920 like a roller coaster 73 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,149 like a roller coaster although the acceleration was zippier 74 00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:18,159 although the acceleration was zippier 75 00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,310 although the acceleration was zippier than it would be with a longer track 76 00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:20,320 than it would be with a longer track 77 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,429 than it would be with a longer track neither of them felt sick she added she 78 00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:23,439 neither of them felt sick she added she 79 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:25,030 neither of them felt sick she added she said that their speed was hampered by 80 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:25,040 said that their speed was hampered by 81 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,030 said that their speed was hampered by the length of the track and acceleration 82 00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:27,040 the length of the track and acceleration 83 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,230 the length of the track and acceleration required 84 00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:28,240 required 85 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,230 required the concept which has spent years in 86 00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:30,240 the concept which has spent years in 87 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,149 the concept which has spent years in development builds on a proposal by 88 00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:32,159 development builds on a proposal by 89 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:34,469 development builds on a proposal by tesla founder elon musk 90 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:34,479 tesla founder elon musk 91 00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:36,069 tesla founder elon musk some critics have described it as 92 00:01:36,069 --> 00:01:36,079 some critics have described it as 93 00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:37,990 some critics have described it as science fiction 94 00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:38,000 science fiction 95 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,670 science fiction it is based on the world's fastest 96 00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:39,680 it is based on the world's fastest 97 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,830 it is based on the world's fastest magnetic levitation trains then made 98 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:41,840 magnetic levitation trains then made 99 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,510 magnetic levitation trains then made faster by placing the train 100 00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:43,520 faster by placing the train 101 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,389 faster by placing the train inside vacuum tubes the world record 102 00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:46,399 inside vacuum tubes the world record 103 00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:48,710 inside vacuum tubes the world record speed for a maglave train was set in 104 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:48,720 speed for a maglave train was set in 105 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,469 speed for a maglave train was set in 2015 when a japanese train reached 374 106 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:52,479 2015 when a japanese train reached 374 107 00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:53,749 2015 when a japanese train reached 374 miles per hour 108 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:53,759 miles per hour 109 00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:56,310 miles per hour in a test run near mount fuji the 110 00:01:56,310 --> 00:01:56,320 in a test run near mount fuji the 111 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,990 in a test run near mount fuji the hyperloop has already exceeded that 112 00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:58,000 hyperloop has already exceeded that 113 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,709 hyperloop has already exceeded that speed but never with passengers 114 00:02:00,709 --> 00:02:00,719 speed but never with passengers 115 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:02,469 speed but never with passengers critics have pointed out that hyperloop 116 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:02,479 critics have pointed out that hyperloop 117 00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:04,069 critics have pointed out that hyperloop travel systems would involve the 118 00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:04,079 travel systems would involve the 119 00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:06,149 travel systems would involve the considerable undertaking of both getting 120 00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:06,159 considerable undertaking of both getting 121 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:07,429 considerable undertaking of both getting planning permission 122 00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:07,439 planning permission 123 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:09,350 planning permission and then constructing vast networks of 124 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:09,360 and then constructing vast networks of 125 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,470 and then constructing vast networks of tubes for every travel path 126 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:12,480 tubes for every travel path 127 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,390 tubes for every travel path miss lucian acknowledges the potential 128 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:14,400 miss lucian acknowledges the potential 129 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,510 miss lucian acknowledges the potential difficulties saying 130 00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:15,520 difficulties saying 131 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,550 difficulties saying of course there's a lot of 132 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:16,560 of course there's a lot of 133 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,710 of course there's a lot of infrastructure to be built but i think 134 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:18,720 infrastructure to be built but i think 135 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,470 infrastructure to be built but i think we've mitigated a lot of risk that 136 00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:20,480 we've mitigated a lot of risk that 137 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,110 we've mitigated a lot of risk that people didn't think was possible 138 00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:23,120 people didn't think was possible 139 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,710 people didn't think was possible in speaking about the infrastructure 140 00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:24,720 in speaking about the infrastructure 141 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,229 in speaking about the infrastructure challenges she pointed out 142 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:26,239 challenges she pointed out 143 00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:27,990 challenges she pointed out that while governments can continue 144 00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:28,000 that while governments can continue 145 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,670 that while governments can continue building up yesterday's transport 146 00:02:29,670 -->
