Space Plane to Offer 2 Hour Flight around the World

secretsather writes "Two hour flights to the other side of the world may seem like a scene from a science fiction movie; but the technology is in place, and a plane that can do just that is currently in development. While it looks like a scene from a flight simulator, the Astrox space plane is the real deal, and the Astrox Corporation says it could revolutionize the transportation industry. Traveling as fast as Mach 25 with at least 30 minutes of space shuttle-like views while in orbit is the highlight of this plane, and The Astrox Corporation, along with their partners, are claiming to have finally overcome their largest problem, mixing fuel."

Re:Jet lag isn't about acceleration..

Actually not that either. Jet lag is mainly due to loss of water. When flying, drink all non-alcoholic beverages available to you and you won't have jet lag. Even on el'cheapo flights, you should be able to get enough to drink to prevent it. Just my tuppence worth of experience in the air.
