A hyper loop pneumatic subway existed in the 19th Century .

Another proof that there were technologies far superior to the time when they were introduced is the pneumatic tube saga of the 19th century. What we know today as the Hyper loop was used in New York (Beach Pneumatic Transit) in 1867, in London (Crystal Palace pneumatic railway) in 1864 and in a few other places even prior to the mentioned dates.
This information is not a secret, though not too many people are aware of this "ahead of its time" achievement. And here we are, 150 years later, and still not smart enough to implement this technology in the 21st century. All projects were shut down for various financial reasons, and lack of political backing at the time. But was it really the financial profitability reason, or the brightest minds of the 19th century were simply unable to re-launch a technology which survived the collapse of the previous spin of our civilization?
