It looks like SpaceX is reviving plans to take on the commercial aviation industry – by transporting passengers to other countries via space.Billionaire owner Elon Musk says that his ambitious vision of 'Earth to Earth' space travel on his Starship rocket is following Donald Trump's re-election.' now possible'First touted by SpaceX almost a decade ago, up to 1,000 passengers would file into Starship – the most powerful rocket on Earth – and blast into orbit. But instead of zooming into the dark abyss of space,Starship would fly 'parallel' with Earth as it traverses the planet's surface, bound for another city. Elon Musk claims it would dramatically cut the duration of air travel, saving time for businessmen and holidaymakers alike – although it's likely they'd pay thousands of dollars per trip. Starship could take people from London to New York in 30 minutes, New York to Shanghai in 39 minutes and Zurich to Sydney in 50 minutes, SpaceX says. However, passengers would face G-forces during take-off and landing, while low gravity conditions mid-flight would mean they'd have to keep seatbelts buckled.Travellers could also be advised to keep their seat tilted back during launch and 'clench their buttocks' as they leave and re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.
