I think the only drawback will be only allowing carry-on luggage to meet weight restrictions. So this also means less security risk. Also means obese customers won't be travelling. Imagine 100 kilo restriction per person.
@@jasongoodacre Weight doesn't matter. This rocket has a payload capacity of 100 tons to LEO. It has enough room to hold a 800 passengers. That's on average 56 tons of humans, which still leaves enough weight margins for facilities. Also don't forget that 100 tons is the figure for LEO. Flights between cities don't reach orbit. The payload capacity is actually way above 100 tons. No concern whatsoever.
The booms would only happen when it slows below the sound barrier. That would happen over the ocean (because laws). As for on board you don’t notice the boom whatsoever.
No sonic booms were heard during sn8 test flight, elon confirmed the vehicle was falling at terminal velocity, this might indicate that the terminal velocity is subsonic and starship won't produce any sonic booms at all
@@90percenthuman39 It will re-enter and be hypersonic at altitude. There will be sonic booms. The velocity will bleed off but i'd imagine it will fall below supersonic at around 15km and big vehicle produces big booms. Also the booster will re-enter supersonic also so there will be sonic booms at launch sites also.
It will take 30 something minutes from Hanoi to Los Angeles. Meanwhile it takes 1 hour or so from my house to my school due to Hanoi's traffic. Better start looking for a school in different continent.

Any transportation either on land, air, rail and water (titanic for example, anyone can go on any cruise ship they wish now) were used by rich people. So in the near future, this transportation will be cheap enough for every working man or woman, and replace long distance travel. Yes the rich will enjoy this for now like any other time they have in history.
Itd be awesome to live in america and have to take a rocket to china everytime you go to work. Actually now that i say that it sounds like a nightmare to keep up with the cost

people in the comments really think strapping people to an ICBM is the future of travel? really? even if this does come to fruition it’s not going to be earth to earth
They are going to use methalox, which you can get from earths atmosphere, so it will actually be carbon neutral. It uses methane and oxygen. And it has a max G force of 2.4 when it will make these round trips, and 3g when it is going on a trip around the moon for example. And lets say they can get that 150 metric tones and expand the habitat volume to 2,000 meters squared, in that case they can take 1,000 people, but if it is a suborbital trajectory then they can decrease the tank size on the ship and increase the habitat volume to 4,000 meters squared, then they can take 2,000 people. or potentialy more depending on how much the expand the payload fairing. And if the fuel and matinance cost 2 million per flight (and add on a extra million for profit margin) then each passenger would pay 1,500, and if they chose not to have a profit margin on a flight then each person would pay 1,000, which would actually be less than a flight half way around the world on a airplane. And if they can manufacture a starship for lets say 40,000,000-20,000,000 there profit margin would be minimal. And each flight would only last up to 50 minutes, compared to a plane which would take 51 hours to go half way around the world (including stops).
@@HarrisonAdAstra, yes that's nice and all, still haven't answered the stuff I was mainly talking about. 1. countries are not going to allow ICBMs to land anywhere near their major cities, not to mention the sheer amount of noise it would make. imagine the number of times it would be mistaken for an ICBM. hell, even planes get misidentified as ICBMs sometimes. 2. quite frankly, not many people are going to be using starship, most are probably going to go on it for the thrill. the need to travel halfway around the world is becoming less and less each year. 3. rockets get delayed. a lot. sometimes even up to multiple days. more so than airliners I doubt that starship would be used to transport people to other places on earth, maybe it would be used as a form of tourism, but E2E? no. or it's just going to be used in the military.

Ironically enough Russia are only one that thinking of doing so. -Electric cars would exist without him eitherway, but i guess pushing this market is good idea, still it freaking too expensive -He thinks that MagLev in vacuum tube gonna be more efficient way of transport then actual MagLev when countries don't even invest in that -Now he thinks people gonna love rocket takeoff over relaxation in the plane, guess 0 gravity for a moment can make up for it but i'm little sceptical over it. But this can work with cargo i can give him that.... but that what the whole point of returning stage 1 was about, but i guess land on land transportation is good idea too.

First passengers are Billionaires and millionaires. 50 successful flights later, it will be in the $100,000-$50,000 range, then 50 successful flights later, it will be ~$1000 per flight.

Well you still need transport to the boat in city traffic, then from the boat out to the launch platform Then repeat that trip once you arrived. So itll still be a 3 hour trip (1.5 hour on each end, getting through traffic to the boat terminal, boarding the boat and going out to the launch platform, boarding the rocket and waiting for countdown etc)
lmao love how all the people who replied are immediately doing the maths. unless you're a 1%er, travel like this is never ideal unless it's a career demand
Man who wouldn't want to be strapped to intercontinental ballistic missiles while experiencing 3gs (enough is enough to make you collapse), probably will cost tens of thousands of dollars per flight, has a very high chance of exploding and also has the added bonus of producing significantly more CO2 than a plane which can carry far more people.
What is more polluting and consumes more fuel than an airplane is a hoax repeated a thousand times. Starship uses Hidrogen(Zero Emissions), Super Heavy uses Methane, it is 6 to 20 times cleaner than the kerosene used by airplanes and falcon 9, (Methane only has one carbon chain, kerosene can have 6 to 20 carbon chains), SuperHeavy uses 59,000 US gallons of fuel, that is, less than a 747-8 that uses 63,000 US gallons. The liquid oxygen used as an oxidant and Hidrogen/Methane are renewable sources, to be zero emissions you will have to be careful to use renewable energy for the entire process.
A few years ago we were skeptical about SpaceX landing a rocket. And then it happened. More recently we were skeptical that the Falcon Heavy would ever become a thing. And then it happened. And now we are skeptical about the BFR ever becoming a real rocket. Only time can tell what SpaceX has in store for the future of space exploration.
I'm not skeptical about the BFR flying, it will fly but maybe not Mars Missions till 2026-2028. I am skeptical about BFR Earth to Earth, because I damn right know it's economically impossible to do.
Spacex are absolutely killing it at the moment. They are currently running 4 programs. Commercial satellites, ISS Supply missions, DearMoon, Mars Program. So this would be a fifth venture for them. The beauty is they all use the same technology developed in-house by Spacex. This is an example of the power of vertical integration which Elon understands. Nasa spends $5 on space contracts for every $1 that Spacex spends. This is why Spacex is the only company that can deliver cost-effective space programs right now.
These are essentially planes that go in space and are really fast. You can't order pizza to be delivered on a commercial plane. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that can't happen anytime soon.
But soon after this VTOL technologically *takes off* (pun intended) it will be used for more than just commercial transportation. If you can order fresh Japanese Strawberries at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai I'm sure this BFR could deliver fast-food. And if not I could always just go to New York and order food from there directly which is still a win. XD

AKlover no no no no. 100-120k fuel; 100-150 passengers * 10-20 trips a day. First class Seattle to Beijing is 12k usd due to one trip at 12 hrs. This will be less.
Optimism and reality seldom match up. Keep in mid all of the shit the FAA will "Require" all of which will add weight, consume more, fuel, and remove passengers/cargo.

XDDDDD
But the sad thing is that if they come out they will be used only for rich people
Angi 196 guess what? The first commercial airlines were only used by rich people. Cars were first used by rich people, even phones were first used by rich people. Any transportation either on land, air, rail and water (titanic for example, anyone can go on any cruise ship they wish now) were used by rich people. So in the near future, this transportation will be cheap enough for every working man or woman, and replace long distance travel. Yes the rich will enjoy this for now like any other time they have in history.

In a couple of years he will be literally
Ilon Mask is a fucking bullshit and an empty projector. A missile with 31 engines will explode earlier than it will fly to. the same nonsense as American flights to the moon.
people in the comments really think strapping people to an ICBM is the future of travel? really? even if this does come to fruition it’s not going to be earth to earth
They are going to use methalox, which you can get from earths atmosphere, so it will actually be carbon neutral.
It uses methane and oxygen.
And it has a max G force of 2.4 when it will make these round trips, and 3g when it is going on a trip around the moon for example.
And lets say they can get that 150 metric tones and expand the habitat volume to 2,000 meters squared, in that case they can take 1,000 people, but if it is a suborbital trajectory then they can decrease the tank size on the ship and increase the habitat volume to 4,000 meters squared, then they can take 2,000 people. or potentialy more depending on how much the expand the payload fairing. And if the fuel and matinance cost 2 million per flight (and add on a extra million for profit margin) then each passenger would pay 1,500, and if they chose not to have a profit margin on a flight then each person would pay 1,000, which would actually be less than a flight half way around the world on a airplane. And if they can manufacture a starship for lets say 40,000,000-20,000,000 there profit margin would be minimal. And each flight would only last up to 50 minutes, compared to a plane which would take 51 hours to go half way around the world (including stops).
@@HarrisonAdAstra, yes that's nice and all, still haven't answered the stuff I was mainly talking about.
1. countries are not going to allow ICBMs to land anywhere near their major cities, not to mention the sheer amount of noise it would make. imagine the number of times it would be mistaken for an ICBM. hell, even planes get misidentified as ICBMs sometimes.
2. quite frankly, not many people are going to be using starship, most are probably going to go on it for the thrill. the need to travel halfway around the world is becoming less and less each year.
3. rockets get delayed. a lot. sometimes even up to multiple days. more so than airliners
I doubt that starship would be used to transport people to other places on earth, maybe it would be used as a form of tourism, but E2E? no. or it's just going to be used in the military.
"I'll never ride in anything that has crashed so many times during testing"

He's already done enough for that, even if he stops today.
Lol you are blind sheep if you believe everything he "envisions" will be truth... this is just fantasy
nixxxon18 if his business has gotten where it is today, why not?
Only thing what he done is returning stage 1 rockets to save some money yey, but...
-It's overhype on matter travel to mars, what space exploration needs is space ship construction throwing away limitation of size limit of spaces, as well as moon colony for exact same reason. Ironically enough Russia are only one that thinking of doing so.
-Electric cars would exist without him eitherway, but i guess pushing this market is good idea, still it freaking too expensive
-He thinks that MagLev in vacuum tube gonna be more efficient way of transport then actual MagLev when countries don't even invest in that
-Now he thinks people gonna love rocket takeoff over relaxation in the plane, guess 0 gravity for a moment can make up for it but i'm little sceptical over it. But this can work with cargo i can give him that.... but that what the whole point of returning stage 1 was about, but i guess land on land transportation is good idea too.
So far i think Steve Jobs (or should a say Apple) impacted world more then Elon Musk did so far.... I would say there more companies that are way powerful or alteast impacful to our realities then him like social media companies, i really don't understand why there so hype over him. My best guess is some group of interest wants to make him president of US

You could probably add a couple of zero's to that.
First passengers are Billionaires and millionaires. 50 successful flights later, it will be in the $100,000-$50,000 range, then 50 successful flights later, it will be ~$1000 per flight.
Assuming the spacecraft is at maximum capacity of people
They can throttle down the engines to reduce g-forces. Blue Origin passengers can withstand the g-forces of acceleration and deceleration, but that’s suborbital.

It will take 30 something minutes from Jakarta to Los Angeles. Meanwhile it takes 1 hour or so from my house to my school due to Jakarta's traffic. Better start looking for a school in different continent.
Bad joke, local traffic is still a problem. From LAX to your new school would be 1 hr. Plus, your home to the Jakarta airport would be bad too, right?
Well you still need transport to the boat in city traffic, then from the boat out to the launch platform
Then repeat that trip once you arrived. So itll still be a 3 hour trip (1.5 hour on each end, getting through traffic to the boat terminal, boarding the boat and going out to the launch platform, boarding the rocket and waiting for countdown etc)
lmao love how all the people who replied are immediately doing the maths. unless you're a 1%er, travel like this is never ideal unless it's a career demand
That's what The Boring Company is trying to fix - another one of Elon's projects
Jakarta traffic is terrible. Transportation at both levels needs addressing
Man who wouldn't want to be strapped to intercontinental ballistic missiles while experiencing 3gs (enough is enough to make you collapse), probably will cost tens of thousands of dollars per flight, has a very high chance of exploding and also has the added bonus of producing significantly more CO2 than a plane which can carry far more people.
So basically you just copied that from 'Adam Something' LOL
What is more polluting and consumes more fuel than an airplane is a hoax repeated a thousand times.
Starship uses Hidrogen(Zero Emissions), Super Heavy uses Methane, it is 6 to 20 times cleaner than the kerosene used by airplanes and falcon 9, (Methane only has one carbon chain, kerosene can have 6 to 20 carbon chains), SuperHeavy uses 59,000 US gallons of fuel, that is, less than a 747-8 that uses 63,000 US gallons. The liquid oxygen used as an oxidant and Hidrogen/Methane are renewable sources, to be zero emissions you will have to be careful to use renewable energy for the entire process.

Wait for the ITS... the BIG BFR !!
And after that... SpaceX will build the USS Enterprise in orbit.
Elon Musk is here for the win !
I'm not skeptical about the BFR flying, it will fly but maybe not Mars Missions till 2026-2028. I am skeptical about BFR Earth to Earth, because I damn right know it's economically impossible to do.
Now there’s a private contract for a billionaire to have a fly by around the moon!
You mean Starship?
Spacex are absolutely killing it at the moment. They are currently running 4 programs. Commercial satellites, ISS Supply missions, DearMoon, Mars Program. So this would be a fifth venture for them. The beauty is they all use the same technology developed in-house by Spacex. This is an example of the power of vertical integration which Elon understands. Nasa spends $5 on space contracts for every $1 that Spacex spends. This is why Spacex is the only company that can deliver cost-effective space programs right now.

These are essentially planes that go in space and are really fast. You can't order pizza to be delivered on a commercial plane. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that can't happen anytime soon.
But soon after this VTOL technologically *takes off* (pun intended) it will be used for more than just commercial transportation. If you can order fresh Japanese Strawberries at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai I'm sure this BFR could deliver fast-food. And if not I could always just go to New York and order food from there directly which is still a win. XD

But his company is the one making the electric car a mass market one. Tesla is the reason *every* car manufacturer is pushing electric.
He had the balls and the brains to know it would be accepted as a product, when other manufacturers had 1 out of their 10 car designs as hybrid not even full electric.
In 20 years this will be the other way around. And not because Mercedes, VW, Toyota , BMW, Ford, or any other big established well funded car company did the final push to all electric. They all smirked at Tesla when they started the company. VW managers would still praise Diesel.
