    At least it's more believable than spacex's commuter rocket ships. I'm extremely skeptical of the one hour claim since they have to climb and descend which will probably be the majority of the time.

    ICBMs take 30 minutes to travel anywhere on Earth. Add in some time to accelerate at a comfortable speed and decelerate for landing and I can see that one hour is possible. Whether that will be technologically feasible anytime soon is a good question. It seems that Elon Musk likes to talk big a lot but is unable to back it up.

    An ICBM doesn't have a lot of meat in the seat and it doesn't have to slow down before it arrives.
