The Concorde consumed a small fraction of the fuel used DAILY by the fleets of CONVENTIONAL aircraft. Not to justify it's existence, after all it's use of energy was rather a waste. But on to more of what you obviously don't understand: "the atmosphere". What a simplification. You do realize that ONE volcano eruption can put forth more supposed "greenhouse" gases than humanity produces in a year? Think about that for the scale of our hubris vs. the earth's capability. The reality is that our current "global warming" is part of a cycle induced in part by the sun's cycle (which reached a 17-year peak recently-called Solar Maximum). Do you realize said sun is some six HUNDRED times larger than the earth? That it's a sustained fusion generator who's solar flares can be THREE TIMES LARGER than our planet? Go get an education in physics, biology, geology, astronomy, and basic scientific theory (the idea that you PROVE concepts with evdence)etc. before you jump on the tree-hugger bandwagon. #4

R & D could be financed by a lottery for tickets to ride in the QSST. I just rode the Alaskan RR steam engine and would thrill for a chance to travel on this craft. WOW!

I for one, was glad to see the SSTs pulled out of service. God only knows what kind of damage they did to our planet's atmosphere. Keep burning them fossil fuels folks.

Just hope that the design isn't plagued by problems like the Concord and the Blackbird were. Sounds to me like SAI and Aerion are in a drag race to get the finished product.
