I was wondering if anyone fancies a really fast travel ?
Here is the MACH 5+ approximately 400 seater business rocket.
:applause:
I figure it takes from Galdhopiggen ( Oslo ) to Los Angeles in less than 2 hours !
Ticket may be at a bit expensive side at around 3 – 5 000 £ back and forth.
Trip to Mars or Moon is valued in each case separately.
Ever tought about it; The Jupiter seen from the Mars is 4 times bigger ( as an area ) when it is at closest ! You can see the all 4 moons splendidly..maybe the 59 others also vaguely.
THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO !

current status
And in 50 minutes from Heathrow to Los Angeles…since the scramjet can be ignited at the end of the rail….after some time on the rockets.

Now a week later the project loos like this.
No funding for sure.
I figure this could “fly” to Mars with just 1/10th of the Apollo mission cost.

Reality check here may be needed.
Corcorde trip NY-Paris-NY was already way back 10 000 usd….so if we take the passengers also to 60 km altitude to feel weightlesness too for a while…maybe 30 – 40 000 £ ticket is closer to the truth.
