[Mr Rogers]

Why not say we’ll use speed of light rockets to travel to other galaxies by 2028? It would make almost as much sense.

[Richard from IL]

Orbital velocity is 17,000 miles per hour so they won’t be planes for long.

[ClearCase_guy]

The White House has yet to clarify Biden's comments

Well, in fairness, how could they?

[ScubaDiver]

And they said GWB was stupid.

[dragnet2]

Will they be all electric aircraft?

[a fool in paradise]

C’mon, man!

Joe knows how to science!

[Vermont Lt]

I would love to see the wings on those jets.

You’ll be able to find them on the ground far behind the crash site.

[proud American in Canada]

Does he even check the stuff he says before he says it?

He’s not adept at extemporaneous speaking.

And can you imagine what the media would say if Trump said that?

[EvilCapitalist]

So planes could circle the earth in a little more than an hour? Biden is nuts/demented.

[frank ballenger]

Look, we’re dealing with a genius here. Biden can take out a sharpie and a napkin at a restaurant and do some quick theoretical physics charts that can take some PhDs three hours to figure out, shaking their heads. “He’s right.”

[Jonty30]

On batteries?

Not a chance.

[KarlInOhio]

Flying that fast is racist - just like everything else.

[dayglored]

So it takes an hour to get from home to the airport, an hour to deal with security, an hour to get herded onto the plane and sit on the runway, and FINALLY you're in the air.

An hour later you've gone most of the way around the Earth.

You land, and after waiting another hour you've got a couple hours to get to your destination. Total time, let's say 8 hours.

Big damn deal about the fast plane ride, who cares?

Tell me you're going to make it so that I can get from home to being in the air in 2 hours, and that getting off the plane and to my destination takes an hour, and I'll happily take that 5-hour flight.

My God, our President is a lunatic. A freakin' raving lunatic.

[hoagy62]

Considering that orbital velocity is 17,500 MPH, and escape velocity is 25,500, we’re basically talking a rocket.

I remember talk of a hypersonic transport during the Reagan administration. But it wasn’t THAT fast.

Once again, Ol’ Joe was talking out his ass.

[Repeal The 17th]

Powered by what?
Solar panels and windmills?

[Captain Peter Blood]

Has Warp drive been invented? What planet is Joe on, or rather what is he watching on TV?

[rbg81]

Maybe they are based on the UFOs everyone is seeing?

[Leaning Right]

> The speed of 21,000 miles an hour roughly equates to Mach 28, or 28 times the speed of sound. <

What a disappointment! I was hoping for Warp 12, at least.

[digger48]

This’ll sure cut down AOCs time on a train for her non stop trips from DC to Honolulu

[BenLurkin]

80 million votes my eye.
