London-Sydney in under 1 Hour Coming Soon

Or so say UBS analysts. When Airbus just made a plane that can fly for 20 hours without refuelling. What a shame.

So why aren't the environmental extremists screaming about the carbon airprint?

I would not place much credence on anything Union Bank guys write, what do they know.  The failure rate for rocketry is roughly 2%. Space rockets are not aircraft, and the public will not stand for one flight in fifty ending up blowing up with no survivors.  Look at how everyone has totally freaked out with two failures of the Boeing Maxx 8, over thousands of successful flights.  It already has been a century-long struggle to convince the public to actually walk into a thin aluminum tube and sit strapped in a seat that goes 500 mph while seven miles upstairs.  And lots of people flatly refuse to do even that.  Even if this gets launched, the first rocket that blows up will end it all, right there.
