 Testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing. Test negative. That's me. Ha ha ha ha. Josh. We are back. Oh man. Hey, welcome back to our stupid directory it's the Corbin. I'm COVID negative. Yeah. So Instagram, Twitter. Instagram, Twitter. Thanks and Patreon, follow us to the account, subscribe if you haven't yet. Like button. It was, I told you this. I was, it was a joyful ride, wasn't it? My stars. Well, the testing aspect of it, shoved a bunch of stuff up your nose. I was, I went to the same clinic every day. Once you're past your symptoms, there's no reason to go get tested until your symptoms are starting to go away. So you do the five days of quarantine. This is for the fully vaxed. So if you're fully vaxed and if you're fully vaxed and boosted, it's the same protocols. You stay in quarantine for five days and if your fever's gone and symptoms go away, you can start testing again, which is exactly, first four days were miserable. I couldn't taste anything then days four, five, six. But after the afternoon of day three, you count day zero the day you test, right? After that three days, the three days was miserable. Like the worst flu you've ever had. I had a great three days. Sure you did. But then I got, I went to the clinic so much for the past like 10 days every morning that they knew be my, every time I pulled up, hey, Rick. And then today, no joke. She pulled up and she went, Rick. I said, yep. She said positive again. I said, yep. Hopefully this is the one. And he was. It was, it was. Yeah, thankfully. But anyways, yeah. If you're not vaxed, get vaxed kids. I feel like I'm the only one on earth who hasn't had COVID yet. You may know my dad. Oh yeah, does that. My dad has not had COVID. He doesn't go out. That's smart. Anyways, today we got, this is actually an informational video. This is called Made in India Hyperloop. So it's a song. The song, Made in India to a, no, I'm kidding. I was gonna say, what, what? You danced for that song when you were younger, didn't you? Oh yeah. Rick hates that song so much. Stop. But you didn't, you didn't like that song. I didn't like it. You thought it was a stereotype. Yeah, the video did have it on a stereotype. I just didn't like it. Anyways, this is, you know how Elon Tusk, the owner of Twitter apparently, you know, he's trying to hyperloop, right? He's been talking about that for a long time. You know about the hyperloop though. Yeah, I'm sorry. You said his name. I'm not a fan. I know. This is not him. Okay. India has their own apparently that they've had in the works apparently for a long, long time. This was just released. So there's a little information about India's. I've actually always been super interested in a hyperloop. I would love like one from here to Vegas. Yes. Well, they've talked about having at least something comparable to that here from Frisco to LA, which, come on. And clean I assume. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like being in a basically a vacuum. Yeah. It says two times faster than a plane. Which would put it, you speed is beyond the speed of sound. No, it's not. Cause planes can go four to 500 miles per hour. Sound is seven. Math is hard, Rick. I don't know. Are they talk? Oh, I know it faster than planes. Cessnas, they're referring to Cessnas. That's true. Here we go. If you know any information about it, please let us know. Yeah, please let us know. Mr. Urban, Urban Meyer. Johan. A dream that many Indians like us saw. Hyperloop didn't materialize, at least not in India. But the matter did not settle yet in the government level. Our Indian Railways is finally able to develop India's first own Hyperloop. India has shown constant efforts to develop a technology rather than importing one from a foreign country. When it comes to railways, you have a lot of examples. Training team, coverage, metro rails and many more. Now, India will be competing with the rest of the world in the race of making its own Hyperloop. The Indian Railways has partnered with IIT Madras to develop a main in India Hyperloop facility. The project involves a test track and a prototype Hyperloop pod estimated to cost around 8.34 crores. A group of 70 students of... When it gets up into crores, I can't do the math. An effort to develop India's own Hyperloop. They ranked globally in top 10 in the SpaceX Hyperloop pod competition in 2019. The only team from Asia to do so. They were also awarded the most scalable design award at the European Hyperloop Week 2021. As they approached the Indian Railways in March this year for an investment, the ministry immediately agreed to collaborate and bear the cost for this prestigious effort. Railways will collaborate to develop a contactless pod prototype and also the first of its kind Hyperloop test facility at its discovery campus at Thayur. In 2017, India's then minister Shuresh Prabhu expressed... Yeah, I was like, how are they going to... Maharashtra, Exe, Devendra Fartnavis and his team even started working to get a Hyperloop in India from Mumbai to Pune and Virgin Hyperloop started working on... Yeah, Virgin's a big player in the Hyperloop game. ...and developed a track between these cities. But nothing moved since then. But the center has been closely monitoring the development on Hyperloop, expecting one to develop in India. Under the project Aviskar Hyperloop, we will get a test facility that is at work with the Virgin Hyperloop in the United States but would cost much less. The Hyperloop's low energy requirement has drawn the Indian Railways towards the project. A technology that can help to... Gotta have more seats than that though, right? For more updates on India's infrastructure, subscribe to our channel, MRB. It's so confusing new technologies like this because obviously if planes were a new thing, I wouldn't know how they work either. No, and I would probably be someone who's like, you're telling me we're going to sit in there and go in the air and not fall out of the sky? I don't think so, buddy. Obviously there's way smarter people. Yes. That knows how this technology works. I have zero clue except for, I understand it's basically a vacuum and that allows no resistance and obviously to go at greater speeds and all that kind of stuff. And I'm assuming the environmental would be equal to or hopefully less than that of a railway? I would assume so. Because it looks like it's just on poles. It looks like it's on poles so it's above ground. Yeah, and so they don't have to, not a lot of environmental damage. Just poles on the ground versus total tearing up and concrete. And then it looks like, they didn't get into the technical specs as far as the actual speed or some of the other things as far as the powering of it is concerned. Yeah, they get real fast. But it looked like you could do, if not all of the power, a majority of the power with solar paneling on top, which makes a lot of sense. Obviously you'd want to do it completely clean. As clean as you can. There's no point in developing new technologies if they're not clean because then they'll be obsolete extremely fast and way too caught. No, it excites me because I think we're living at a transitional generation where in 25 years, we could see some dramatic changes that take place that take us away from fossil fuels and make us in a position where we're living cleaner, the planet is getting better. We're not, first of all, the main thing that we have to do is get rid of all the greedy assholes who are getting richer and richer oil companies off of the fossil fuels. But they know their days are numbered. That's why they're trying to break in as much as they can now. But I can't wait for all of these to go up everywhere. Yeah. You gotta wonder when it's actually gonna be ready to be. I'm thinking max, I mean, the soonest is like 30 years, I'd say, before these are like regularly available. I think it could be 25. You think so? I think it could be 25. Because obviously it takes a lot of work to do. If they're trying to combine cities, it takes a lot of work, a lot of material, a lot of man hour, a lot of money. And so obviously full governments would have to be putting money into this. And I know that Elon has been trying to get people to invest in, because he's been. And Virgins obviously were two brands. Virgins is I think probably the biggest player in the Hyperloop game, which is funny because they're like a budget airlines. Maybe they're just trying to get in front of everybody so they could be the top person in the next thing. Well, I'm glad to hear more about Hyperloops than I am space tourism, because for me, the whole space tourism thing is ridiculous. I mean, obviously it's space exploration and maybe colonization, but that is not gonna be in our lifetime sadly. No. So there's no point. Not even, I like, remember when space exploration was for just the discovery of new things where we wanna go to Mars because we wanna discover what's going on there. We wanna go to the planets in our solar system. This whole thought of, well, we have climate change, so we're gonna go find an inhabitable planet. No, you're not. I mean, we can barely, we don't even have a manned mission to Mars yet. Not, it definitely won't be in our lifetime. No, there's other livable. It won't even be in your kids' lifetimes. Yeah, yeah, there's other livable planets, obviously. Oh, that was sure. Absolutely. Billions probably. There's probably billions of them. But not within our current technologies in the reach of our lifetimes or our kids' life. Or the timetable of what they say needs to be done to reverse the impact of climate change. So it's like, all that money should be, in my opinion, directed toward this kind of technology. Yeah, I do hope we're able to do stuff like this. So obviously America has always been way behind in terms of the high speed railroads and there's many reasons for that. Agreed. But, yeah, yeah, essentially. Yeah, like in California, we've talked about this before, the only reason we don't have a rapid transit system of any kind where we really do need it because we're such a huge city is because car manufacturers and dealers didn't want it. And now that if we're, obviously, California's been trying to do high speed rail for a long time, but now it's just so expensive as opposed to if you would have done it decades ago. So funny, Disney put in the monorail system at Disneyland how long ago? And I remember every time I'd go to Disneyland, I'd look at it and go, why isn't this all over Los Angeles? It's clean, it's quiet, it's above ground, and that's because car manufacturers and oil companies don't want that. And now it's just way too expensive to do exactly. Anyways, let us know if you know any more information about this that we need to know down below.
