No it doesn't. That map is not complete. The entire Pacific Ocean is missing. From the other side,the trip would be much more than 8,000 miles. Grab any proper map, or even better a globe and see for yourself. Even most of China and Japan are missing. |

Use a mileage calculator in google , it says the distance is roughly the same... :) You gain time when you fly East to West and lose time when you fly West to East. You even gnomesayin bro? Timezones bro timezones. You fly East to West fast enough you go back in time. Gnomesayin? |

Distance from India to Sanfrancisco it showed a line over the pacific.... A distance of 8,000 miles roughly :) Flying isn't safe either direction YOU ARE ME |

He completely ignores the practical challenges posed by supersonic flight, let alone hypersonic. Such as the costs of maintaining the kind of airplane needed. The companies are struggling even with today's planes. Go and study what was necessary to keep Concorde or the SR-71 in the air. HUGE challenges. |

The number of air passangers is now over 3 billion per year. That's almost half of the world's population. Looks like "our masters" are not doing a very good job at "keeping us down"... If anything, there are too many people flying around, most often for futile motives, producing noxious fumes and burning resources for nothing. |

I'm not talking about supersonic, hypersonic or even orbital flight. A 10,000 mile point-to-point trip in under an hour would require near Star Trek-level technology. |

That is how India planned on solving it's overpopulation problem: Flooding America, Europe and Africa. Once that globalist treaty goes through, they will be sending Caucasian's to the FEMA camp to exterminate us, and replace us with people from India. They are already giving them all our job's, education and future. |

To prevent the spread of disease, and add more layers to the global economy. They should outlaw jet travel altogether for the good of the environment, the good of human health, and the good of the economy. Being able to travel so quickly, has brought more trouble to people, then benefit. Blimps would be fun. |

I predict even more blood clots with people sitting that long. Hope they load as much alcohol as fuel on that flight. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68474273 maybe they should require everyone walk around the passenger area once an hour. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |
