Ping.

Any guess what a NY to London will cost? I’ll say $20,000 minimum.

[BenLurkin]

Might be worth it. A trip to the edge of space.

[GnuThere]

That’s a beauty!

[Army Air Corps]

The view would be spectacular.

Hydrogen?

[gibsonguy]

Yeah, I’d say it would be. It’s pretty small group who could afford to plunk down $40,000 for a round trip ticket though.

[AlmaKing]

We can get to Epstein Island in record time now.

[BenLurkin]

Drug dealers. And crooked politicians.

[Chainmail]

And NBA/NFL players.

[Rastus]

Which NBA player will be our first Kneel Armstrong?

Which NBA player will be our first Kneel Armstrong?

Ohhh, I like!

[Carriage Hill]

“A trip to the edge of space.”

That’s on my Bucket List.

[Fungi]

Another boondoggle to go the way of concorde. Limited clientele, limited passengers, what’s the point?

[wastedyears]

So are they getting out of space? Good, because they haven’t done anything worthwhile.

[beethovenfan]

Powered by pig $hit.

[redshawk]

Really? A distinction between first class travel and business class. ... Sounds asinine. But what do I know?

[Vermont Lt]

Pretty sure it would need pontoons to roll out on that rock.

IF they can overcome the sonic boom problem (i.e; no one wants it), they’ll then have to overcome what really eventually killed the Concorde: it was too expensive to maintain or fly in it.

IF they can get supersonic flight down to an affordable level for most people, it may have a chance.
