Entrepreneur Elon Musk, who envisions a human colony on Mars, is planning to create a new, much larger rocket ship code named “BFR” capable of travelling anywhere on Earth in under an hour.
If the concept becomes reality, a journey from New York to Shanghai can be completed in about 30 minutes. The surprise announcement means that Musk’s SpaceX, which has already disrupted the aerospace industry with reusable launches, plans to ferry humans not just to distant planets but across this one as well.
