From the Ted Talk by Josh Giegel: Super speed, magnetic levitation and the vision behind the hyperloop

Unscramble the Blue Letters

And after building that system, we created a test track in the desert outside of Las Vegas. We've operated the system over 500 times and had countless other tests on our subsystems. But there was one test that was going to be the defining moment for hloeropyp technology: the first passengers in the vclehie. And we were going to do it with regular polpee that didn't need years of training and experience to set foot inside of a spcae capsule. So by oetcbor of 2020, we had run hundreds of tests, some with these extremely handsome mannequins that you see here. We had an independent safety auditor give us the green light, but still, it was nerve-racking. We were boldly going where only these hnmsdaoe mannequins had gone before. And on nveebomr 8th, 2020, we made our first attempt. So at our test site, my colleague Sara and I cbeilmd into that can-like vehicle suspended by magnetic levitation at a near-vacuum eonviernmnt, and the countdown began. In those 15 senocds, we showed the world that what was dmeeed ludicrous over 100 years ago was in fact possible. That brief moment has oeenpd so many doors for us. We've had conversations in the US, Europe, India, the Middle East, about building hyperloop systems in the next 10 years. This is the start of a systemic change in the way we travel.

Original Text

And after building that system, we created a test track in the desert outside of Las Vegas. We've operated the system over 500 times and had countless other tests on our subsystems. But there was one test that was going to be the defining moment for hyperloop technology: the first passengers in the vehicle. And we were going to do it with regular people that didn't need years of training and experience to set foot inside of a space capsule. So by October of 2020, we had run hundreds of tests, some with these extremely handsome mannequins that you see here. We had an independent safety auditor give us the green light, but still, it was nerve-racking. We were boldly going where only these handsome mannequins had gone before. And on November 8th, 2020, we made our first attempt. So at our test site, my colleague Sara and I climbed into that can-like vehicle suspended by magnetic levitation at a near-vacuum environment, and the countdown began. In those 15 seconds, we showed the world that what was deemed ludicrous over 100 years ago was in fact possible. That brief moment has opened so many doors for us. We've had conversations in the US, Europe, India, the Middle East, about building hyperloop systems in the next 10 years. This is the start of a systemic change in the way we travel.
