Traveling to all cities and countries of the world through missiles rather than aircraft
SpaceX's plans include manufacturing new rockets not only for flights to other planets but also other cities on Earth. Where Elon Musk plans to fly one of his missiles to the other side of the world in minutes, and now SpaceX says it will be possible within 10 years or less.
Gwynne Shotwell, President and Chief Executive Officer of SpaceX, said at the TED conference that the company is confident that it will not only complete the development of BFR, the world's largest and most powerful missile in the next decade, but will also start using it to travel from Los Angeles to Los Angeles.
