Getting exactly the same vibe from "Boom" that I had when the "micro-jet" Eclipse was going to put every business traveler in a tiny jet flying point to point. They built hangars, training facilities, hired thousands, the whole enchilada. Then they went bust.
It's a neat idea. So is SpaceX using the reusable rocket for point to point global travel anywhere in under 30 minutes. Technically feasible, but how many bazillionares really need to save a couple of hours are there anyway?
From an "American ingenuity can do great things" standpoint, I freaking love this. But there's a better than even chance there's going to be a whole lot of cheap hangar space available in GSO in a few years.
(thanks for posting the link. I really did enjoy it, no sarcasm.)
