We'll definitely keep track of it. matched

But again, I think at this point, this is kind of basic science wonky stuff and not something that people need to worry about. matched

All right, Bob, what are hypersonic jets? matched

I wonder, though, at those speeds, if turbulence is going to just be intolerable. matched

Yeah, not even just weather, just like you're going that fast. matched

I don't know, would that magnify turbulence by 16? matched

Yeah, the tiniest pocket, air pressure change. matched

But even if you went out to Mach 5, that still will get you coast-to-coast in under an hour or across the Atlantic in under an hour. matched

Oh, yeah. matched

There's kind of a little bit of diminishing returns in terms of the speed. matched

Yeah, right. matched

The most exciting application of this technology might be single stage to orbit. matched

That's huge. matched

Just having our ships take off like a plane, get up to Mach 17, and then switch over to your rockets and blast into orbit from there. matched

There you go. matched

That would be incredible. matched
