Sounds cool but probably very expensive to fly.

We just need to create a transporter like on Star Trek. Or a Stargate. Much quicker.

AND only transports 20 passengers. Geez Louise, and I thought the Concorde tickets were expensive.

Oh, it's doable, it's just not financially feasible unless you are the Donald or the Obama's on vacation.
