Flights halfway around the world won't be exhausting anymore.
I find the main exhausting part about transcontinental travel is first of all the jet lag, and secondly all the other steps that don't involve sitting in the plane. This doesn't really solve either of those problems. The actual sitting on an airplane part I find pretty relaxing.

- afavour 4y agoAll of your issues are solved by flying first class. I mean, first class travel is not within my means either but if we're talking about rockets flying half way around the world we're not talking economy seats, not for a long time. If the prices were similar I imagine a lot of people would take an extremely comfortable long flight over a short cramped, g-force intense rocket trip.
- nashashmi 4y agoThat is true for the most part but in order for the rocket to be a successful, business, you only need a few passengers per day. The time savings makes a difference for the high earners
- afavour 4y ago> The time savings makes a difference for the high earners I’m not so convinced. These days we’ve got very usable internet connections on planes. Anyone can be very productive while in the air.
- whoisthemachine 4y agoThe jet lag could be avoided by flying there for your meeting, and returning to your original time zone when it is over.
