The richest man and owner SpaceX, Elon Musk, emphasized his vision for a faster means of global transport that would allow flights in less than 30 minutes. However, social media users emphasized concerns about the availability and availability of average passengers, except for the necessary health projections to adapt to such rapid travel.
“You could go from La to Sydney in less than half an hour, La to Tokyo in less than half an hour, New York to Singapore in half an hour. Through the Atlantic in 10 minutes. You go 25 times higher sound speed, 30 times faster than a commercial aircraft,” Musk told SpaceX Starship.
Netizens React
Elon Musk’s statement has raised extensive reactions of social media users who raised questions about the feasibility and availability of such a plan.
One of the users noted: “Starship could replace aircraft if the average price per ton of methalox is about $ 70 and you can fit 1,000 passengers. It’s like $ 300 tickets to anywhere in the world in half an hour.”
“However, it still takes hours to pass the passport and security,” he added.
“This is actually something that needs to be considered. Driving from Minneapolis to Chicago takes about six hours. Flying takes three or four, including the airport, passes safety, get to the gate 30 minutes before the flight, fly, wait for luggage, rent a car,” he wrote.
“Lmao 🤣 something that only wealthy could afford” like cell phones “will not only be normal, but it will be SOP!” Added one of the users.
Next said, “My only question is how intense it will be, if it is to get into the plane? Right now,” astronauts “with the blue origin must be tested and some training. How do they alleviate the power of G to take one of these 30 minutes years? ”
“It sounds quite great, Elone, but it would be an affordable way to travel around the world? Can I travel with commercial airlines for pennies to the dollar and in some cases free of charge, depending on where I want to travel.
