The maiden voyage took place on a 500 metre section of test track built by Virgin Hyperloop outside Las Vegas, Nevada, and lasted just 15 seconds. Virgin Hyperloop is one of several companies hoping to realise Mr Musk’s vision for a transportation system that combines maglev technology with a vacuum environment to ping people through tubes at more than 1,000km/h. Former Virgin Hyperloop boss Rob Lloyd previously theorised that the 60km journey between Gatwick and Heathrow airports in London – which currently takes around 45 minutes by car and over an hour by public transport – could be completed in less than five minutes using a hyperloop. “When we started in a garage over six years ago, the goal was simple: to transform the way people move,” said Josh Giegel, co-founder of Virgin Hyperloop and one of the first two people to take part in the test ride.
