Is Elon Musk an earthling?

[Jester]

I often suspect he is "The Man who fell to Earth".

I'm enamored with the Hyperloop. He says, "Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome (someone please do this), the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment. This is where things get tricky. "

I love this guy. I think while he's pushing this hyperloop idea, we'll go work on the teleportation problem. :-)

Maybe I'm doubting the next Brunel here, but I'm not holding my breath on viable low-pressure tube travel.

Teleportation, that's just suicide, as far as I'm concerned. Suicide plus replication. Which is not much more attractive.
