I didn't follow this. How is the hyperloop related to space? Also what exactly would it be a horrible expenditure of resources?

  The hyperloop could be related to space if they decide to experiment with slightly altering the trajectory to lead into space, giving it an edge energy-wise to break out of the atmosphere. It would be a horrible expenditure of resources because when you look at a map of where humans designed and placed their cities, they are inefficient for travel and resource distribution. Example: Manufacturing parts are created in Tennessee, shipped to Michigan, Manufactured in Michigan, and shipped to Florida to sell/distribute. Instead, why not ship the raw materials to a equidistant manufacturing node/plant, create the material there, then distribute it. It's not done this way (most efficient) because money/corruption incentivizes backwards thinking of keeping "jobs" in sectors that are a waste of energy to complete and continue. Interesting times we live in. Here is an example of an efficient and effective city design: http://i.imgur.com/shnIgHn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/shnIgHn.jpg
