I wanted to be onboard until I got to this line.

The actual powered-flight is expected to last about 10 seconds and reach Mach 7 before gliding for six minutes and plunging into the Pacific Ocean.

Talk about shootin yer load in a hurry! Again, the amount of hydrogen needed to propel an airfoil of close to zero lift with any sort of payload would be prohibitive to commercial flight.

It'll still be kick the tires and light the fires, on Jet-A or kerosene for another hundred years.

Yeah, but you would be in the shallow water on the beach in Hawaii.
