A blank page at the top of HN. They've certainly got the Hype part nailed. Now where's the Loop?

Or the "r"?

Elon Musk will be making an official announcement with Hyperloop details later today[1]. Hyperloop.com is now being redirected to this splash page.

Interesting that it's branded under SpaceX considering that Elon has said that hasn't not going to (personally) develop it for a while.

Went up to the top very quickly and now I don't see it anywhere on the front page. Moderator action or did it hit anti-vote-rigging protections for too many votes too quickly?

General users can flag submissions and push things off the front page pretty easily. I would not assume this was moderator (HN staff, etc) action, just general user population action.

It's on the SpaceX website. That Musk was doing this through SpaceX is news to me.

He said yesterday he's not "doing" it at all. He's just throwing an idea out there, but not actually building it. In that case, I guess he can just use one of his companies websites.

maybe Spacex has built a hardware tech demo. They have a flexible factory.

I don't think he is - he has to put the information somewhere since he doesn't own a personal website

antoko13 yıl önce

I admit I didn't know that either, but does that really make it worthy of being the top story on HN?

s_q_b13 yıl önce

Nope. But now we've got a great dataset of users that blindly upvote stories.

Many people were wondering under watch branch of the "Elon-mpire" this would fall under.

eg why not put it on elonmusk.com? Or its own website?

So.. if SpaceX is the platform for this project, he's probably thinking of shooting people from one point (his rocket launching platform) to orbit and land at another SpaceX station?
