Perhaps if efficency of engines increases another 10x, while providing the same power - who knows.

The convergence of communications and technology means that unless you're going on a holiday, you can perform a lot of business over a link.

What about those theoretical flights that virgin plan to fly above 120,000+ feet, almost into orbit, float around for a bit, then come down? Are they still going to happen?
