Imagine thinking any of the half dozen industry specific publishers have a right to exist in the 2020s

Is your point that some people with Indian ancestry have similar facial features to people with ‘British’ ancestry?

We did have the same ancestral language

The original recordings of the first humans landing on the moon 40 years ago were erased and re-used, NASA officials said on Thursday.

Imagine paying for something that’s worse

This is from their 2 kilometre Phase 1 track which reportedly exceeded 623 km/h (387 mph)

The Phase 2 track is supposed to be 60 kilometres long

Given the target speed is ~277 metres per second, starting with a 2,000 m test track is a pretty conservative approach

CASIC says the flatness of its test track is within an 0.3 mm (0.01 inch) tolerance, that the 6 m (20 ft) diameter vacuum tubes have a geometric size error less than 2 mm (0.1 in)

They are straight up pursuing a vacuum train

They announced it seven years ago with the eventual goal reaching 4,000 kilometres per hour by 2035 from memory

this breakthrough was just Maglev

A hyperloop is just maglev in a vacuum. That’s the hard part

The tubes have a geometric size error of less than 2 millimetres (0.1 inch) and must be capable of maintaining a vacuum state for extended periods, presenting significant challenges in fabrication and installation

didn’t Musk releases the Hyperloop thing to try to prevent California from getting high-speed rail?

Yes, like he promised that Teslas could have their batteries changed instead of recharging to get more money from the government.

hasn’t hyperloop been basically discredited as a realistic form of long distance travel

There hasn’t really been any genuine effort until now. CASIC is the real deal and state owned

CASIC is the biggest missile weapon system developing and manufacturing enterprise in China. It is known for developing, researching and manufacturing air defense missile systems, cruise missile systems, solid-propellant rockets, space technological products and other technologies with products covering various fields of land, sea, air, and electromagnetic spectrum. CASIC has provided dozens of advanced missile equipment systems for various nations, and contributed to Chinese crewed space flight, lunar exploration and other Chinese national projects.
