Anywhere on Earth in under an hour. What a time to be alive.

Tbats awesome

Ticket prices will be insane! Whoa, what a time to be alive. Government regulations will make this a nightmare.

25 minutes + an hour on each side for landing and post landing checks + an hour boat ride to and from the landing platform and you might as well just fly from NYC to LA. That's before you even get into the extreme cost.
It's a great thing in theory, but without significant improvements in propulsion, doesn't seem feasible in the near future.

Is this actually something that SpaceX plans to do or is Musk just bullshitting again?

How is your average off the street American fatty going to react when inside of a rocket going fast enough to take them across the world in a half hour?
Do we pre-screen passengers with the gravitron?

Like this Patane guy…he’s just a Tesla fluffer? Just throwing out some make-believe stuff and Musk is like “Yes” and fanboys everywhere start clapping?

4,000 kilometers...plus altitude say 4100
90 seconds to get to speed. 90 seconds to decelerate
Even assuming a very low trajectory the safe human limit for g is 4-5g
187km per minute
3.1 km/s avg velocity straightline.
I mean it's doable...
But you are basically strapping people into missiles and shooting them at NY and LA.
If they fail, you are going to kill a lot of people on the ground...
Not to mention the sonic boom issue.

Sounds like he's planning on sending people on ICBMs...

The day after one of your vehicles exploded on takeoff probably isn't the day to bring this up.

Fair. But i'll put this in the Hyperloop or NYC-London undersea mag tunnel category of things that aren't remotely feasible in the short term.
We'll have astronauts on Mars before something like this is commercially available.
