    No, you misunderstand. It is literally impossible, with current technology, to achieve the desired metric because of the sheer size of some countries.

    Even if you somehow managed to have a fleet of Blackbirds at your disposal for instant public transport, it would take well over an hour to reach one end of the US/Canada to the other, just as an example.


  • Hawaii is a 10/11 hour flight from certain parts of the us.

    Alaska is 11/12 hours to Florida, 14/15 to Puerto Rico.

    Even if you don’t want to include those, it’s 6/7 hours from Seattle to Miami.

    Yukon to Newfoundland is 6/7 hours.

    These exclude boarding times and such.

    Even if you went with current high speed trains, and exclude continental breaks between land masses, you’re talking about quite a few hours.

    Good luck staying horny that long.
