Ya know, going fast is really great and all. And God knows it’s a hellish 18+ hour flight to Sydney, Australia from Vancouver. But this is going a little overboard.

A British-led consortium is testing SCRAM jet technology in Australia.

Exciting stuff. Potentially very big development for rockets and other space related purposes.

The Article though, goes a little further.. they suggest using this technology on commercial “jets”.

At MACH 7… you could get from London to Sydney in… wait for it… 2 HOURS!

Yikes.

I think I’d rather wait for that teleportation technology to come around instead. At least you’re standing still.
