KLM: New spaceplane fleet will reach every city on planet in two hours

• Terrence Aym
A visionary commercial spaceplane has been announced by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines after entering into a partnership with Michiel Mol, a multi-billionaire software entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Space Expedition Curacao (SXC). The plane would take off and land like a conventional aircraft, but other than that it's anything but conventional. More rocket than airplane, the craft will go sub-orbital and be able to reach any city on Earth from any other city in less than two hours.
