In the last 25 years we have lost Concorde.Originally posted by WTFH View PostWell, it's 25 years later, so maybe time for an update to the program.
I suppose technology has made the world smaller so less need to travel quickly across the planet.

I am sure I read in new scientist a while ago about tentative plans for a craft that could travel at 20% the speed of light?
