NASA & SpaceX Begin Starship-Based Point-to-Point Earth Passenger Tests

 


2025 has seen a major milestone in aerospace: NASA and SpaceX have begun preliminary human-factor tests for Starship’s point-to-point Earth travel concept.

This would allow passengers to fly between continents in under one hour.

What Is Point-to-Point Space Travel?

Starship launches vertically, exits atmosphere briefly, then re-enters and lands near the target city.

Travel times:

  • NYC → Tokyo: 52 minutes

  • Dubai → London: 34 minutes

  • Sydney → LA: 58 minutes

What NASA Is Testing

  • G-forces on passengers

  • Landing shock loads

  • Emergency cabin pressurization

  • Re-entry vibration levels

Why This Is Trending

If successful, it could create a new category: suborbital airline travel, reshaping aviation forever.
