question 1: The Hyperloop Alpha concept was first published in August 2013, proposing a new transportation route running from Los Angeles to San Francisco. It would propel passengers along the 350-mile route at a speed of 760 mph, allowing for a travel time of 35 minutes, which was considerably faster than current rail or air travel times.

Preliminary cost estimates for this LA-SF route suggested US$6 billion for a passenger-only version and US$7.5 billion for a somewhat larger-diameter version transporting passengers and vehicles. Using the "four sublimes" concept, provide a justification for this mega project.

Question 2: Communication plays a key role in international projects, and having virtual teams requires intensive use of technology. Describe four project actions you would use in your term project to improve communication (please provide a small description of your project).

Question 3: There are many methods to learn in and from international projects. Describe two methods and explain how they can be used in the context of organizational learning.
