Tokyo To Delhi In 30 Minutes, Elon Musk Proposes Rocket Travel At The Cost Of Economy Airfare

At a Space Industry Conference, SpaceX’s CEO, Elon Musk shared his revised plans for travel to Mars and the Moon. But he ended with speaking about something spectacular that will blow your mind and revolutionalise the face of global commuting.

According to The Verge, Musk demonstrated the idea of using the same interplanetary rocket system for long-distance travel on Earth. He claimed that the space technology would take “most long distance trips” in just 30 minutes, and go “anywhere on Earth in under an hour” for around the same price of an economy airline ticket.

In SpaceX’s video, the idea is showcased that passengers get onto a large ship from a dock in and go to a floating launchpad in New York. They use the same rocket designed to make humans travel to Mars. The only difference is that instead of heading to another planet, the destination is another city in the world- Shanghai.  The ship separates in outer space and takes you to your destination.

Other routes talked about in the video are Hong Kong to Singapore in 22 minutes, London to Dubai or New York in 29 minutes, and Los Angeles to Toronto in 24 minutes.

The same rocket is boarded in which Musk plans to send people to Mars by 2024.

This proposed method of traveling from one city to another would be, by far, the fastest ever. The ship would reach a speed of about 18,000 miles per hour at its peak.

Here, watch the video yourself to be amazed.

For us broke millennials, maybe this would be the closest thing to outer space travel!
