Well, more like 90

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

Sure. You got a plan for accomplishing this goal?

Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :

Well, not really. Sounds like a waste of 80-90 minutes, to me.

What I'd like to do is get to, say, France or Italy in 90 minutes (and for under $100 - yeah, right).

OK, if you mean in the Space Shuttle, then sure. The view would be worth it.

I thought you were just touting some new high-speed travel. If I'm going to be inside something whizzing along at jetliner hight or lower just to be back where I started, that would be a waste of time.
