SpaceX CEO and X owner Elon Musk has made a groundbreaking announcement that could revolutionize global travel. Musk revealed that SpaceX’s Earth-to-Earth travel project is set to become a reality soon, offering the possibility of reaching any corner of the world in just a few hours—or even minutes. This ambitious project aims to drastically cut travel times between major cities using advanced rocket technology.
Musk’s Earth-to-Earth travel concept, which was first proposed nearly a decade ago, envisions passengers traveling between major cities on Earth in less than an hour. SpaceX’s Starship rocket, which Musk describes as the most powerful rocket in the world, would be at the heart of this new form of transportation.

In a tweet on November 6, Musk responded to a user’s inquiry about the possibility of getting approval for Earth-to-Earth flights during the Trump administration. Musk confirmed that this vision is on the verge of becoming reality, citing the technology SpaceX has developed to enable rapid travel across the planet.
Musk explained that SpaceX’s Starship would travel parallel to Earth, rather than venturing deep into space, after being launched into orbit. This innovative approach would allow for rapid travel between cities by using the Earth’s atmosphere for the journey. Musk stated that the technology is now advanced enough to make fast, efficient global transportation possible.
The Starship is expected to be 395 feet long and capable of carrying up to 1,000 passengers on each journey. According to SpaceX, the rocket will significantly reduce travel times, making it possible to reach cities worldwide in a fraction of the time it currently takes by conventional air travel.
In a video posted on social media, SpaceX showcased the potential travel times between some of the world’s busiest cities. According to the report, passengers could travel from Los Angeles to Toronto in just 24 minutes, from Los Angeles to London in 29 minutes, and from Delhi to San Francisco in just 30 minutes. The quick travel times are expected to revolutionize global business, tourism, and personal travel.
During the flights, passengers will experience brief periods of magnetic force at takeoff and landing, which will be part of the advanced technology used to make the high-speed travel possible.
Musk’s announcement has already sparked excitement within the transportation and aerospace industries, as well as among frequent travelers. SpaceX’s Earth-to-Earth project promises to reshape how we think about long-distance travel, making it possible to traverse vast distances on Earth in a matter of minutes.
As the project progresses, it is expected to face significant regulatory and logistical hurdles. However, Musk’s vision for faster, more efficient global travel is one step closer to becoming a reality, potentially ushering in a new era of high-speed, Earthbound rocket travel.
