The boom isn't from the structure of the plane. It's from the sound wave collapsing upon itself. A forward moving sound wave is met by a rearward moving sound wave immediately after from the object that is ahead (because it is traveling at a rate faster than the speed of sound)

I know, I was being sarcastic.

And there won’t be any mess. Something so small breaking up on re-entry would be completely vaporized

Surely they will subsidize travel for those making minimum wage?

True but any average day there are 5,000 flights and rarely do they crash. We’ve been flying planes for decades. How many times has man been to outerspace by a private entity? Twice now? You go first
