Commonts of the Hyperloop sysyem
Strengths:
1. Perfect teamwork. Teams from mechanical design, teams from computer engineering, and people who've worked on massive motor systems, massive rocketships, and aerospace, aerodynamic engineering coordinate pefectly.
2. Supporters and experimenters. Several commercial companies and dozens of student teams pursuing the development of Hyperloop technologies.
3. Good results. If it works out, this transportation can bring us great economic and time benefit.
Risks:
1. Technology. The core technology of this program still needs to be developed.
2. Economy and politics. The construction and future maintenance costs still need to be discussed. If it works out, it will definitely influence the economic development of region. So, which regions will have the technology influence the politics.
3. Safety. It will not only related with technology but also with politics and possible terrorist attack. So how to maintenance the whole system should be designed better.
Realistic or not:
Different characters have different opinions. (Some of them)
1. Economists. Impractical. Bonnie Lowenthal, chair of the California State Assembly's Transportation Committee told the Wall Street Journal, "Big infrastructure projects in California are very difficult. We have very complicated funding, we have environmental protections, seismic faults and land acquisition – but that's just the shortlist.”
2. Engineers and I. Realistic. Though there are many risks, but through all the staffs' effort, it will come true in the future. Anyway, to prove one thing can be realistic or not, we should try our best to achieve it first.

This is a detailed and comprehensive analysis. Nice!
