Anyone going to the Boring Company Tunnel opening party tonight?
 

sounds Boring

Can't find an opening in my schedule

That's one deep hole. I'm curious to see what it smells like in person.

Hawthorne is an hour away though not sure if it's worth it to drive so much for the opening of a hole. Hhhmmm

Are you going DBS.US?

Just read another article on this, they are revealing the tunnels travel pods today!

Elon Musk to unveil underground tunnel, transport cars

There is no information if it's open to the public or if it's a invitation only thing. I'm going to see what I can get into around 7:30pm. My goal would be to get into the tunnel.:thumbsup

Awesome!

This is the unveiling of their 2 mile test tunnel under Hawthorn.

"The Boring Company product launch on Dec 18. More than a tunnel opening. Will include modded but fully road legal autonomous transport cars & ground to tunnel car elevators.” — Elon Musk.

Evidently they have a full scale test track in the tunnel already too.

Location at 120th Street and Prairie Avenue in Hawthorne or on the SpaceX lot?

Entrance to the tunnel is just north of the SpaceX parking structure (cross the street east of SpaceX)

YOU are so FUCKING awesome.

Thank you.

Please post pics and or videos here please :thumbsup

I've always had a hunch he intends to use the boring company on Mars.. Mars atmosphere is much thinner than here on earth hence reason Matt Damon was able to tape up the blown out hatch with plastic in that movie.

If you want to colonize Mars with a lot of people, it's makes a hell of a lot more sense to build underground. Using bores to make tunnels underground would be much safer and you could then just use some sort of inflatable living structures underground.

This gets you out of the radiation, out of the dust storms and in a more stable temperature range and a much safer place for your living structures. At that point you just keep the power generation up top on the surface as well as some work structures but the bulk of living areas are safe underground.

Any pics from the event DBS.US?

Couldn't get in. It was a small closed media only event.:disgust
