Big planes = Big accidents. AKA: Titanic.
I think that they have it sooooooo wrong. Anyone who has flown to NZ or Australia from Canada or the UK, knows that SPEED is what we all want.
Bugger sitting in a tincan for a day. Roll on suborbital travel or those neat "beam me up" jobbies on Startrek.
In the 60's we had supersonic flight. It seems we are going backwards.
...I feel the need, the need for speed.
