I was referring to the US ban on concorde flights resulting in them being limited to JFK and Washington. Also supersonic is only allowed over the oceans.

Anyway, supersonic has been done. Where's the hypersonic flights that were promised?

Where is everything we were promised 30 years ago ? Other than computer power , technology has stagnated for the last 30 years thanks to crony finance capitalism.

How about we go BACK to supersonic first , before we start pipe dreams about space flight ? Which is frankly ridiculous.

I support supersonic because it has a chance.
