Delhi to New York in 30 Minutes? Fictional Video Goes Viral | Elon Musk Says, “This is now possible”
World’s famous billionaire and technology giant Elon Musk has recently talked about a technology that can completely change intercontinental travel. With the help of SpaceX’s Starship rocket, a distance like Delhi to New York can be covered in just 30 minutes.
Starship Rocket: Ultra-fast Travel of the future
SpaceX’s Starship rocket is considered to be the most powerful rocket in the world. This rocket promises to travel from one place to another while flying in an orbit parallel to the Earth’s surface. Through this, long-distance journeys can be completed in exceptionally short time.
Los Angeles to Toronto: 24 minutes
London to New York: 29 minutes
Delhi to San Francisco: 30 minutes
New York to Shanghai: 39 minutes
Elon Musk’s claim: It’s Now Possible
Reacting to a video posted by user @ajtourvillevideo on X (formerly Twitter) on November 6, Elon Musk wrote, “It’s now possible.”. The user suggested that SpaceX could receive approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for Starship Earth-to-Earth flights within a few years, during the Trump administration. The video said: “Most long-distance trips in less than 30 minutes. Anywhere on Earth in under an hour.”

In this video, it was told that Starship is likely to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during the administration of US President Donald Trump. This project can gain momentum in Trump’s second term.
Rocket With a Capacity of 1,000 Passengers
This Starship rocket, 395 feet long and made of stainless steel, will have the capacity to carry 1,000 passengers. During the flight, passengers will experience high gravitational force (G-force) during takeoff and landing and will have to keep their seat belts fastened.
Spacex’s 10-year-old Dream
This dream of Starship rocket was proposed almost a decade ago. Now that Elon Musk has been appointed as the co-leader of the US “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) in the Trump administration, the project is expected to gain new momentum. Musk and Indian-American entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswami will lead this department.
Growing Enthusiasm on Social Media
There is a lot of enthusiasm about Musk’s project on social media. One user wrote, “Amazing! Always keep innovating for the future.” While another asked, “Is there any possibility of SpaceX IPO?”
New Chapter of Future Travel
If this project comes to fruition, it will be a revolutionary change for travel and global connectivity. Travelling between continents in just a few minutes will no longer be a part of science fiction. This endeavour of Elon Musk will not only reduce travel time but will also help bring the world even closer.
