    The BBC more or less crucified some buzzword spewing douche who was talking about providing sustainably sourced, "green" jet fuel to power these Boom jets yesterday as well.

    Apparently the guy has never heard the phrase, "there's no such thing as a free lunch."
    Soylent Green is eco friendly bio-fuel?

    I'm waiting for them to just come out and say "Fuck it, it's a railgun. We're going to shoot the plane at Europe"

    Bonus points for it incorporating all the suggestions in this thread (magnets, electric, catapults, etc). Just need to get the railgun base on a treadmill...

    Like cryptocurrency, no one knows how magnets work, so that would be a great selling point.

    Can we shoot the railgun in a vacuum tube? We'll use treadmills and magnets to move the vehicles around on the ground to load and unload. Magnetic braking systems as well to return energy to the system for that green feeling.

    Call it the HyperBoom.
    Wait, how can we trust this guy^^^ He's clearly not DJSapp

    He was doing it with fans to make a hovercraft. We're using wings and a rail gun. Hell, we'll even give the passengers a space age flight suit made out of 100% shiny materials to cope with the massive g forces. Totally different in every way. Now just how many million are you ready to invest today?

    Will you be offering fractional ownership opportunities?

    Only for the class B shares, and only for a very limited time as demand is very high for this amazing opportunity to invest. But a person as esteemed and savvy as yourself wouldn't be interested in waiting around for the class B offering. I'll forward the wire transfer information to your team.

    I say go with a sling shot. The bonus by using this method, is you don't need a runway. McDonalds before take off, anyone?

    Cancellation??? Who in their right mind would want to cancel!? The only question is "when will the HyperBoom to Mars be ready so I can access the chalet on Olympus Mons I'll be buying with all the proceeds?"

    We're working on a partnership with NASA to use the skycrane technology to deliver our interstellar passengers to the surface of Mars. Return flights should be available shortly after the SpaceX base is built.
