One day,in the not to distant future, you may be able to get into a tube and be transported at speeds of up to 750 mph to your destination. The Hyperloop just did a test run on a test track in Nevada. Using mag-lev(magnetic levitation)technology, the vehicle traveled at 70 mph down the track. Cofounder Sherwin Pishevar said it was a "Kitty Hawk moment" to watch a new method of transportation in action. The test lasted 5.3 seconds(the first Wright Brother's flight was about 10 seconds). Passengers, within three years, may be able to travel in a Hyperloop pod, 121 miles from LA to San Francisco, in just 30 minutes. In addition to passenger pods, Hyperloop would be able to transport cargo, too!

A sheet of ice the size of the state of Delaware(about 2240 sq. miles) is about to break from Antarctic's Larsen C Ice Shelf. Using satellite technology, scientists are watching the 70 mile break in the ice shelf and say when the chunk of ice "calves" or breaks away, it will be one of the world's largest icebergs! Being in a shipping lane, there is worry that such an iceberg could be dangerous to passing ships in the area. To get an idea of the size of the iceberg scientists say there is enough water to fill 463 million Olympic-size swimming pools. That's a lot of water!Photograph from CNN.com
