A look inside the test tube: it is located directly in front of the SpaceX building in Los Angeles and is 1.2 km long. It is pressurized to 0.4 bar, a distance along which the teams' pods had to accelerate to full speed and decelerate again. The pod accelerates five times faster than an airplane in the take-off phase. A speed that could make it possible to travel from Munich to Hamburg in 40 minutes.
