It’s time to be honest about Musk’s vacuum tube to nowhere
It’s time to be honest about Musk’s vacuum tube to nowhere
Yeah I think we’ve learned all we need to know about the mega-rich “MoVe FaSt AnD bReAk ThiNgS” types and their highly pressurized people-carrying cylinders…
This is totally different, the tube is under vacuum and on land.
So the pressure difference between the vehicle and the outside is the opposite. If the vehicle fails, rather than being crushed by the pressure, the occupants explode.
It wouldn’t be that bad. Just possibly popping a lung, rupturing ear drums, and/or passing out.
