The Virgin Hyperloop has completed its first passenger ride on the high-speed levitating pod system that could transform human and cargo transportation.
The test was carried out yesterday (8 November) with many claiming that transportation history had been made.
Sir Richard Branson himself, founder of the Virgin Group, said: "For the past few years, the Virgin Hyperloop team has been working on turning its groundbreaking technology into reality.
"With today's successful test, we have shown that this spirit of innovation will in fact change the way people everywhere live, work, and travel in the years to come."
two Virgin Hyperloop executives - Josh Giegel, the company's Chief Technology Officer, and Sara Luchian, Director of Passenger Experience - reached speeds of up to 107 miles per hour at the company's DevLoop test site in Las Vegas, Nevada.
There have been around 400 un-occupied tests that have taken place so luckily Josh and Sara were probably feeling hopeful from the beginning.
Josh said: "When we started in a garage over 6 years ago, the goal was simple - to transform the way people move.
"Today, we took one giant leap toward that ultimate dream, not only for me, but for all of us who are looking towards a moonshot right here on Earth."
