Hyper loop The hyper loop consists of a pair of steel tubes‚ normally elevated‚ which are evacuated to 0.015 psi. This not quite a hard vacuum but "soft" enough that relatively ordinary equipment can be used to maintain it‚ and some tiny leaks can be tolerated. This is about the same pressure as a spacecraft flying at about 30 miles would feel. Pretty low drag‚ but far from zero‚ especially at the proposed 760mph‚ approximately 1/1000th of sea-level drag. The vehicle is substantially smaller

Film Review: V for Vendetta “People should not be afraid of their governments.

He wanted his play to lead triumphantly to an English victory against overwhelming odds at Agincourt. What is not agreed among
