But there is something else. If you build a ship that's capable of going to Mars, what if you take that same ship and go from one place to another on Earth? We looked at that and the results are quite interesting.
还有个有意思的事儿。既然我们已经可以(be capable of)开飞船到火星去了,要是你坐同样的飞船从地球上的一个地方到另一个地方会怎么样?我们思考了这个问题,得出的答案非常有趣。
With BFR for earth to earth transport we are traveling at 27,000 kilometers an hour, or roughly 18,000 miles an hour. During the final descent is where propulsive landing becomes very important. Most of what people consider to be long-distance trips would be completed in less than half an hour. The great thing about going to space is there is no friction, so once you are out of the atmosphere it will be smooth as silk. No turbulence. If we are building this thing to go to the Moon and Mars, then why not go to other places on Earth as well?
使用BFR做地球旅行将给我们带来 27000km/h(18000mile/h) 的飞行速度。最后降落时(descent)推进着陆系统(propulsive landing)至关重要。人们印象中的长途旅行耗时将被缩短至不到半小时。跑到太空里的最棒之处在于那儿没有摩擦阻力(friction),所以一旦你离开了大气层飞起来将如丝般顺滑(smooth as silk)。而且太空里没有湍流(turbulence),一点儿都没有。如果我们打造出的BFR可以用于星际旅行,那么为什么不可以在地球上跨域飞行呢?
Thank you.
谢谢观赏。
