RE: Musk is about to disrupt another industry - Long Distance Flights

Glad to see those numbers crunched! A price of $2500 vs $1000 would not be an obstacle for those who can afford it for the perks you mention. Reminds me of the Concord jet that I heard shut down recently for some reason. Oh, it was the noise, if I recall. If so, then maybe another competitor would be an Expeditionary Transport Dock, like an aircraft carrier without weaponry, and follow the same route you mention for the passengers. My AI says an Expeditionary Transport Dock goes for around $1.6 billion.

Sort:  

Its actually $2500 for SpaceX ETS vs $2000 for airline for very long routes (15+ hrs). But for shorter routes 5-10 hours the price advantage of airlines increases.
