WizoFoz, agree completely... Just imagine, Paris to LA in a matter of an hour or so! Or, Sydney to London in just a little under 2 or so hours!!!

These folks behind this should be congratulated for their marvellous efforts. The Wright Bros only got a few feet off the ground for a few seconds, remember? Wonder where this "flight" will rank in 100 years time. The ship will probably be in a museum, with people gawking in amazement.. "God, they went up in THAT??!"

Just hope I live long enough to either get endorsed to"fly" one of 'em, or, to buy a ticket to meet a friend on the other side of the world for lunch, and be back home by dinner.

Just think, you could be an international pilot with what looks like a domestic schedule Think of all those lost hours in the book... sigh...

Room for a passenger on your fandangled rocket by any chance on the next ride? Promise I won't touch the controls!!!
