Thank you
You know at 52 miles up you can do 2 rotations around the earth.
There space craft goes above 62 miles in a sub orbit because of laws.
When the testing and licensing are available you can do this easy it would be orbital air craft then.

Quoted By:

Obviously flying at an altitude between 52 miles and 62 miles is consider military aggression.
But there is an atmospheric wave between altitude 52 moles and 78 miles you can ride around the earth

Quoted By:

Reason for escape velocity is because air foils don’t work in higher atmospheric altitudes
After the x 15 some more tests wear done. Then the 80s more tests built on the x 15
Orient express
Aurora

Licensing and testing along with industry standards take time. Time that VG has put in to make space tourism

Quoted By:

As sub orbit space tourism becomes normal, one set of laws will be relaxed and an industry will grow.
Longer sub orbit flights across the Atlantic
Sub orbit Return flight across the pacific
Normalization of space flight by space tourism

With circular innertia engine, that would be better than ion one.

Like this time, it needs space travel revolution, asteroid mining and exotic materials.

You mean one that doesn't explode on take off? No idea. But I do like this whole "day trips to space" idea a lot. I would also like to see trips around the moon.

I mean it's 100% true that there is a market for rides to space-they've actually got these things booked solid for a good few years-but it just isn't that impressive given everything else going on in space. I still wish them well and hope the price of space jaunts falls sharply over time.
