Sunday was a momentous day for entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk's proposed Hyperloop transportation system. A team from the Delft University of Technology took home the first prize in a world-wide competition set up by SpaceX founder Musk to design and build a Hyperloop pod. They came out on top of two other teams during a test run of their pod in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Delft team was one of three to proceed to the final stage of the competition, with a team from the Technical University of Munich winning the award for the fastest Hyperloop pod and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology coming third overall. The SpaceX Hyperloop competition began in 2015, but this year was the first time participants in the final were able to test their Hyperloop pod on a mile-long track. Hyperloop is billed as the next generation of ultra-fast transportation. Transport pods will shoot through a closed vacuum tube at speeds of over 700 miles per hour.
