It sure is. It still always sounds preposterous to me when people from Europe casually drop phrases like ‘went to Rome for the long weekend’ I know it’s way better than it was. For my parents generation air travel was hideously expensive, even overseas phone calls were expensive. But yeah it’s still really far. Hoping for someone to invent another supersonic jet. I reckon there be a market for it even if it was more expensive.
Imagine if we could teleport!
With my luck a fly would find it's way into the teleportation unit..
