SpaceX is hosting its second Hyperloop Pod Competition this August, during the weekend spanning the 25th through the 27th. Participants will include those who successfully tested their pods during the first competition in January<\/a>, as well as some who weren\u2019t able to compete during that trial either due to time constraints or designs that didn\u2019t quite meet SpaceX\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n

The competitors are not directly affiliated with SpaceX \u2013 they include 27 teams selected from a larger group,\u00a0mostly made up of research teams from some of the best colleges and universities from the U.S. and around the world. The first time around, the competitors were focused on a variety of criteria, but this time, there\u2019s just one metric that matters: max speed.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of heart-pounding thrill ride we\u2019re looking for out of Hyperloop \u2013 on top of safety of course. Safety first. And then second, F9: Fast and Furious and Hyperloop, the next instalment in the\u00a0blockbuster film franchise. The family faces its biggest challenge yet in a low atmosphere contained tube environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
