Surely everyone has heard of Hyperloop, another of Elon Musk's brilliant ideas, ground transportation faster than the plane and much less polluting.

The Hyperloop is a system formed by a system of sealed tubes to which air is partially extracted, through which a capsule can travel without resistance to air or friction, transporting people or objects at high speed.

Although the idea is over a century old, it was not until 2012 that Elon Musk (as usual) made it fashionable again, built a test tube and organized a contest for companies and universities to manufacture their capsules and be able to get them try out.

But this is not new and it was even prepared for this year the inauguration of this medium in Dubai, although I don't know what will happen when this damn pandemic ends.

The news is that the STM Loop company has obtained € 7,000,000 of financing for the project to join Morocco with Spain using this technology, with which to transport passengers and goods at 1,000 km / h.

The largest investors and leaders in this operation are the French engineering and consulting group Altran, Red Eléctrica de España and Angels Capital, owned by the Spanish businessman Juan Roig

According to the company, this would be the beginning of a project to unite the African continent with Europe, which will undoubtedly be a good initiative to boost the economy in Africa.

You see, what a decade ago would seemed to be science fiction, now we will have it on the doorstep with a little luck.
