Is anyone able to remember the exploits in which Elon Musk has put his hand?
It's an enormous amount of initiatives that span vast fields of knowledge: Elon Musk is co-founder of Paypal, creator and CEO of SpaceX, driving Tesla Motors, president of SolarCity and “putative father” of Hyperloop, the revolutionary system of “pneumatic” transport that could lead us to travel on capsules at a speed of over 1000 kilometers per hour, currently being tested on a small stretch in Nevada.
Elon Musk is a eclectic and loves to wander in various fields. To solve a problem, he tends to find solutions to all the collateral problems that prevent its realization. One for all? View that a train is needed faster, Musk begins to figure out how to redesign the tunnels.
This is why I am not surprised to have seen the publication of a photo of the "tunnel machine" that Musk is building. Last week he declared that “don't know yet exactly what he is doing”, but to be able to increase the speed of construction of a tunnel by 5 to 10 times. In spades (a lot in spans :) ) the Gran Sasso in just over a year and a half.

The objective is to build tunnels more simply and quickly to make them a more widely used tool, decongest urban areas (also reducing polluting emissions) and bring transport to places unsuspecting. And then tomorrow, and then the day after, a rapid and effective system for building tunnels could help to better develop some settlements in cold and inhospitable environments: if you are thinking about some red planet you saw right.
At present it seems that Musk is testing this machine for the construction of underground parking in the Space X complexes, but the photo of a tunnel with a diameter of 8 meters and about 3km long under DC has also appeared.
