Following Donald Trump's re-election as U.S. President, Elon Musk announced plans to advance SpaceX's 'Earth-to-Earth' travel using the Starship rocket, promising unprecedented travel speeds.

The rocket would enable up to 1,000 passengers per trip to fly in orbit parallel to Earth's surface, rather than deep space exploration.

Projected travel times include Los Angeles to Toronto in 24 minutes and Delhi to San Francisco in 30 minutes, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Social media interest surged when user @ajtourville shared a video on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting FAA approval under Trump's administration.

Elon Musk responded optimistically, hinting at this being a feasible reality, which could transform global connectivity.
