Loopy? No, it’s Hyperloopy

Elon Musk's ideas float in rarified air, but unlike other dreamers, he has a way of making them real!  How

refreshing it is when most of us are, in the words of Lewis Carol, "Running as fast as we can to stay in the same place."  Now there's some vision for you.  Even in the times of the author of "Alice In Wonderland" he was able to stay ahead of his "stuff" enough to pack in enough time to write one of the most fanciful books of the century, to keep the dreamer in us alive and not merely relegated to childhood fancy.

On August 12th of this year his new idea to transport people from LA to SF in 30 minutes will be announced.

Loopy? No, it’s Hyperloopy

Elon Musk has proven himself over and over from the invention of "paypal" to the totally electric Tesla Roadster to his SpaceX exploration of redesigning spacecraft flight as a private non governmental effort, thus more fluid in redesign capability.

I sure would like to see a forward looking solution to the high speed rail project that has excited our political figures in our bankrupt state of California.  August 12th sounds like the right time!

Hacking a $20 Toy Helicopter into an Autonomous Drone

I see the beauty of this more from the reference point of "thinking outside the box" adding to the hopes and faith in our cultural "can do" spirit that in our free country anything is possible. Limitations exist, most assuredly. It's just that some of us, fortunately, just ignore such self imposed limitations as trivialities and "get on with it".  After all, limitations put on us by someone else have to be honored by us to stop us from our experiments in creativity.  Just like water level, someone who has an idea and wants to see it move forward has no one but themselves to blame for limits.  Find a way.  Just think what a mind such as seen in this video will accomplish in his lifetime. As a fan of Elon Musk's forward thinking energy, his audacity of hope I CAN get behind. Helicopters are complex enough in themselves. I don't think this fellow ever considered there was a box.

Elon Musk: The mind behind Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity ...

Who is more visionary, yet straightforward in his thinking and analysis than Elon Musk? I, for one, feel so lucky to live during this time that we're able to see the fruition of the string of choicez made by someone such as this who considers criticism to be constructive while tackling truly basic questions through physics. At the end of this video he modestly answers questions about his process of analysis, discovery and progress. Here's where I found this lecture.
