You want supersonic travel and sonic booms. I want the travel without the boom. It's then just an engineering exercise to remove it. Fly above the atmosphere. Travel in a vacuum tube. Make travelling more interesting so long travel times aren't an issue.

I just want people to be able to try stuff. I don't want sonic booms, but I think that the economic path from here to there is an evolutionary one, rather than making a quantum leap from booms to no booms. So to get there, you have to put up with some noise.
