. The spaceplane would travel nine times faster than the speed of sound and at an altitude of 170,000 feet. That's high enough to see the blackness of space, though the plane never leaves the Earth's atmosphere.Venus Aerospace unveiled Stargazer, the company's first conceptual vehicle design, on Tuesday. The spaceplane is being designed in Houston to travel from Los Angeles to Tokyo in one hour.
In the past year, Venus Aerospace has designed and built its technology demonstration engine, conducted experiments at hypersonic wind tunnels and propulsion test facilities throughout the U.S., and started additional testing in Houston. It plans to start subsonic and supersonic flight testing with a drone in the coming year.
Sounds like more big fun for the rich people.
Is this better or worse for the environment?
