Sounds good. Thanks for the answer!

On the technical side, I've done some research work on critical velocity causing all sorts of problems for high speed rail due to significant vibrations. It looks like, if HSR, was to reach greater top speeds, the cost of ground and trackbed improvements would skyrocket and effectively limit the possible operational speeds. What are you doing to prevent the rayleigh waves and other vibrations from escalating? Do you think that the tube will be able take the load on its own or are you considering any additional support structure that we have not seen yet in photos from you test site?

Also, as has been said many times before, going underground would solve many problems. However, tunneling at the moment is a rather expensive way of constructing transportation corridors. I am guessing that you are also looking at reducing the costs in this field?

Cheers!

Hi guys. Have you got any students working at Hyperloop One? Are you planning to have any placements/internships? I'm a civil engineering student in Europe and would love to help bring your work across the pond!
