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


That's more or less what would be going on.

Been there. LAX to Fiji is a 12-hour flight. Well worth the upgrade to first/business class and getting a bed.

Wonder what first class in a rocket would be

The majority of healthy humans can handle 4g.

It would take 90 seconds of acceleration and 90 of deceleration at 4g to reach the speed required to make it that far in 25 minutes (22 minutes top speed, 3 minutes total changing speed).
