Elon Musk's SpaceX could pretty much revolutionise the way we travel with his mind-boggling plans to transport passengers from city to city, from anywhere in the world.
The billionaire's company has created the most powerful rocket on earth called 'Starship' but he won't just be using it to fly into space.
As well as heading to stars and planets, Musk says the rocket could dramatically reduce air travel time, making a trip from London to New York in just 29 minutes. Watch below:

The massive rocket will be able to hold 1,000 passengers and will be capable of flying anywhere on earth in under an hour, the company has said.
SpaceX also says most long distance trips will last less than 30 minutes.
The way it would work is passengers would get on a boat to travel to the location of the rocket, which would be ready to takeoff on a platform in the sea, according to the promo video.
Twitter user @ajtourville shared the clip, suggesting that SpaceX could be cleared by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) during Donald Trump's presidency.
He wrote: "Under Trump's FAA, @SpaceX could even get Starship Earth to Earth approved in a few years – Taking people from any city to any other city on Earth in under one hour."
To which Musk replied: "This is now possible."
The maximum speed of the rocket would be up to 27,000 km/h, with one of the fastest commercial airliners coming in at around 1,061 km/h. Quite the difference.
Though in 2019, Musk tweeted: "1000, as all seats would be 'coach' & no toilets, pilot area or food galley needed.
"Most flights would only be 15 to 20 mins. It’s basically an ICBM traveling at Mach 25 that lands."
When asked if people would be able to move around during the flight, he added: "That would be unwise. Probably needs a restraint mechanism like Disney’s Space Mountain roller coaster. Would feel similar to Space Mountain in a lot of ways, but you’d exit on another continent."
