You might be surprised to know, that now you can travel from Delhi to San Francisco in just 40 minutes. Yes, you heard right, Elon Musk-owned SpaceX is paving the way to minimise your travel using Earth to Earth space travel Starship.The news of Earth to Earth space travel was confirmed by a physics engineer Alec Tourville whose design was selected for Elon Musk’s owned X logo. Tourville through a video on X hinted that SpaceX may reduce Delhi to San Francisco travel time to 40 minutes using a starship. 

The post shared by Tourville reads, “Under Trump's FAA, @SpaceX could even get Starship Earth to Earth approved in a few years — Taking people from any city to any other city on Earth in under one hour.” In response to the post, Musk said, “This is now possible.”

The vision of earth-to-earth space travel lies around Starship, a giant 395-foot spacecraft made of stainless steel. Musk, who will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Vivek Ramaswamy, believes his plan for "Earth to Earth" space travel using Starship is now possible after Donald Trump's re-election.

According to a report by the Daily Mail, nearly a decade ago, SpaceX visualised a plan where up to 1,000 passengers would board on Starship, the most powerful rocket on Earth, and launch into orbit. However, instead of heading into deep space, it would now have planned to fly "parallel" to Earth's surface, travelling between cities around the world.

Apart from this, Starship also intends to offer ultra-fast travel, allowing passengers to travel from London to New York in just 29 minutes, from Los Angeles to Toronto in 24 minutes, from Delhi to San Francisco in 40 minutes, and from New York to Shanghai in 39 minutes. However, passengers will experience high G-forces during liftoff and landing and will need to keep their seat belts fastened due to low gravity conditions while cruising mid-flight.
