USA | Elon Musk Vows To Cut FAA's "Senseless" Supersonic Boom Noise Regulation (simpleflying.com)

SpaceX chief and now US government special advisor Elon Musk says the current administration may scrap regulations prohibiting supersonic flight over United States territory. With supersonic travel now making a comeback, changing the rules will help emerging companies get their aircraft into service on a wider range of routes without facing regulatory obstacles.

Hope people enjoy their houses shaking and paint cracking.

Have you ever been near a plane going supersonic? I was in highschool, in a fairly isolated area. We were in the middle of a lesson and suddenly everything was shaking, some windows broke and we went into panic because nobody knew what was happening.

All we knew was that "something" exploded very close. Days later, we got to know that an asshole in a fighter decided to go match something over our town because go figure. It was in Spain, not a "hot" country.

These idiots are in for a whole world of "fun"

Has he ever lived through a sonic boom in his life? Guessing no. He’s way too privileged for that experience.

Supersonic travel making a comeback? Are they bringing back the Concorde? Boom Supersonic just got supersonic recently and their Overture is way away.

Anyway, Musk really does think he's co-president.

You got it wrong. Trump thinks he's co-president.

Nah, I think, Trump still doesn't know he is the first lady
Just for show and shine and he has nothing actually to decide

(And I really hope this wasn't too misogynistic, because usually First Ladies seem to do quite reasonable stuff and complement politics with soft power, but Trump is just too stupid for that as well...
So maybe my comparison stinks...)
