Another development that will dramatically reduce fuel consumption and boost efficiency. See: SpaceX plans to use spaceships for earth passenger transit:
Elon Musk was at IAC showing off his ambitious plan to ultimately make Earth an interplanetary species, and one of the new pieces of his plan he revealed was Earth-to-Earth transport using SpaceX rockets to cut down trips to almost anywhere on Earth in under an hour, and to most destinations in under 30 minutes.
The plan would essentially fly passengers up to an altitude where the craft would encounter virtually no resistance from air or wind, which would dramatically increase potential speed and efficiency in terms of fuel use.
Some of the flight times SpaceX displayed during its presentation include 22 minutes for Hong Kong to Singapore, 24 minutes from LA to Toronto, 25 minutes from LA to New York, and just 30 minutes from New York to Paris. Here is a direct video link.
For someone with hundreds of millions of dollars, like ex-Goldman alumnus Cohn, $30 to $45k is a rounding error. But for a so-called financial wizard advising the government purportedly on how best to ‘help the middle class’, it’s revealing and super embarrassing that he overestimates the average household income by 26% and the average median income by 45%. Not credible leadership.
Economic advisor Gary Cohn told reporters on Thursday that a typical four-person American family bringing in $100,000 a year would save $1,000 under the Republicans’ proposed tax reform effort, which they could use to pay for a new car or a kitchen.

In actuality, the average American family makes $74,000 a year before taxes, or about $26,000 less than that, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The median American family income is roughly half of Cohn’s estimate, or only about $55,000.
