Unless Proximus Prime is a Hooveronic planet, governed by the Dysonions, in which case the appliance will have a hard time explaining to vacuum customs why it has its extension tube stuck up a monkeys bum



well.it could happen

Indeed, knowing my luck when I'll eventually use it at the clientco, the bloody contract cleaner will be hoovering the transporter chamber at the same time and I'll reappear at Proximus Prime Spaceport with a fecking Dyson embedded in my arse.

Which would be a tad embarrassing...

They always talk in ST about crazy and backwards McCoy is for not trusting the transporter... so it's amazing how many episodes it doesn't work properly.

Ah ha, they thought of that. After all, you never hear Kirk saying "Beam me up, Bob" do you?

I don't think they are developing this to ever be a passenger jet, the New York to London is just let people grasp how fast it goes. Wil likely be used to deliver things like warheads.

Oohh I don't know. Just needs a bit of creative developement and investment. Cue Richard Branson and Virgin Dr Strangelove Tours. Just strap yourself on and enjoy the ride!

[SupremeSpod]

I hope they persevere. This sort of thing never works the first time you try it. You have to keep going and figure out where you're going wrong.

We used to be absolutely ace at developing engines and stuff.

******* yanks don't know their arse from their elbow.

Presumably it couldn't go hypersonic immediately - unless you want your passengers to experience 9G's- so the transition from take off speed to full on is the technical challenge

Think i'd wait until they perfected the Inertial Dampening Field first...

Then it would circle HR for an hour waiting for a landing slot

Then 1 hour at the airport.

Once when I was trying to get out of LAX it took 4 hours due to them fingerprinting both hands and asking various personal questions to every single passenger. It seemed that 3 or 4 planes from China had landed all at once so the translators were having to rush about. In the queue one guy said to a steard "Im first class" in a pompous manner and the steward said "No first class in here buddy",...class.

Except if it crashes.

I'll wait for light speed thanks.
