From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hyperloop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperloop

The article is well written and is composed of a lot of information on the Hyperloop. However, the lengthy article only consist of four illustrations. I think it would be beneficial to add a few more to better translate the author's explanations of the project. Specifically adding a map to illustrate the ideas in the "Proposed Routes" section would help the reader visualize where the author is referring to. Someone who is not familiar with North America would greatly benefit from this. Interstate 5 is one of the major routes considered by Hyperloop so I believe it should be illustrated. The image I found through CC Search was already uploaded onto Wiki Commons and met Wikipedia's image sharing requirements. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Interstate_5_map.png

My second edit can be found in the Mars subsection of the "Theory and Operation" section. Here the author compares Mar and Earth's atmosphere. I felt since the Hyperloop technology focused on air pressure and density it was important to specify that the density of Mar's atmosphere is 1% of Earth's at sea level. Density of the atmosphere on Earth changes with elevation and different locations on the Earth can mean for varying densities. Since the article is highly scientific and theory based I feel it is important to be as accurate as possible. Information was taken from: https://www.universetoday.com/22603/mars-compared-to-earth/ and https://mars.nasa.gov/allaboutmars/facts/#detailedFacts. I felt Nasa's information could be trusted because of its reputed space program and its aeronautics and aerospace research.
