This will be great for the Australian tourist industry. A lot more Americans will visit Australia if it only takes an hour to get there.

I would never question Biden's command of the facts and the numbers. After all, he was in the Senate for 120 years. Or was it 150?

That won't be fast enough for boarding Spaceship One.

[Salamander]

Poor bird.

[Salamander]

25 minutes and a runway that spans the whole continent.

[EvilCapitalist]

Maybe it will be like the stop during Ludicrous Speed in Spaceballs.

[Deaf Smith]

How far can a commercial aircraft, traveling at 21k mph fly?

*All the way to the scene of the crash.

[unread]

Yeah, and they’ll be electric... (snort)

[know.your.why]

I was going to say...wtaf....but then realized that this is our selected president and hes always been like this. this is no surprise at all. none of it is. this whole democrat lie is the new truth. fk it.

[Mark17]

Will they be all electric aircraft?

Yes, solar powered. 😁

[JohnBovenmyer]

Suborbital flights have been theorized as a faster way to travel, but I don’t recall even that boasting these “Biden says” speeds.

[Salamander]

LOL!

I forgot that.

“They’ve gone to plaid”

;D

[Salamander]

What happens when it gets dark?

[Mozzafiato]

So 10,000 planes in the air at any one time traveling at 21,000 miles per hour...I mean what could go wrong? I’m sure there would be plenty of reaction time to avert major disasters.

Feeble POS. I sincerely hope his final days are painful and humiliating, for him and his corrupt family. I can’t adequately describe the contempt I have for this tyrant.

[EvilCapitalist]

Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel about him.

[Secret Agent Man]

They might be able to fly at that speed, but the fuel necessary to do so for any decent fration of distance will be a big range limiter.

But I tend to think Biden wandered off script on this one....

[Yogafist]

LOL. What do you mean, I was holding back.

[sasquatch]

My flight instructor warned me:
Lower your nose.

[Robwin]

This is fine with me so long as 50% of the aircraft are piloted by women and minorities.

Air traffic controllers will be provided large doses of amphetamines and strong coffee at the start of their shifts. Speed freaks will be in high demand.
