What’s it doing there?

Genoa? In Italy?
Yes.
Oh right!
But what’s it doing there?
its an aviation museum
Informative.
There’s a space shuttle there as well. A great place to visit after breakfast in Scotty’s.
Not only does the new Space Plane not in anyway promise 4 hour flights from London to Australia but it doesn’t exist even in prototype form. What does exist is a prototype engine that may, if all goes well, be usable for space travel in the 2030’s and could in theory power commercial flights at 5.3 mach speed which would be capable of flying from London to Australia in 4 hours.
Considering the Concorde was banned from flying at Mach speed over land due to the sonic boom i don’t see how this aircraft will over come that obstacle.
Sub orbital space flight is the future
You’ll be able to email yourself to Australia before this thing sees the light of day.

With VR will we even bother leaving the couch for holidays?
I can’t imagine I’d be arsed, especially given how much easier it will be to keep the “Holiday Destinations For The Lone/Accompanied Traveller” threads updated with screenshots of the rock fields of Iceland or perspiring glasses of Moretti by the Med.
Greta will probably have planes made illegal by then anyway
O’hare is probably the worst airport I have ever been in. Cc @Big_Dan_Campbell. This is hell. One hour security queue.

It’s the busiest airport in the world, a poor choice to fly out of.
The facilities are not what I would expect in a proper country. I can barely get a goddamn pint here
You are in the Midwest. The only proper thing that have is a 32 oz slab of beef.
Jesus Christ. Get me out of here
