At Honda, we listen to drivers for inspiration, even when they say things we can't play on the radio.

Like when a *** pulls out without indicating or when a *** crosses the road without checking first,

or when a *** doesn't understand how a *** roundabout works.

That's why we developed a collision sensor system, which detects risks and automatically breaks.

And to keep all family road trips, family friendly, it's included as standard with a Honda CRV hybrid.

Honda, the power of dreams.

This is CBS Eye on the World. I'm John Batshire, David Livingston.

Is here as my colleague and co-pilot for Hotel Mars episode N.

And right now we're going to concentrate on supersonic speeds on the planet Earth.

However, Mars is part of this larger story of getting used to the idea of faster and higher and

better and safer. And at the same time, it's got to make money.

So we note a recent news story. I'm looking at business insider. It was also in the Wall Street Journal.

United Airlines is buying 15 supersonic jets that could fly Newark to London in less than four

hours. United Airlines is purchasing 15 high speed jets from startup Boom Supersonic.

The airline committee has the option to buy 35 more from Boom in the future.

Boom super fast plans could cut some flight times in half by 2029, according to United.

We welcome someone to help us on this story, whether it's what used to be called vaporware,

or whether we're actually looking at flying to London in four hours and Tokyo and

a record time, whatever they calculated to be in the brochures.

Alan Boyle-Jorne's he is CosmicLog.com. That's his website and he's a contributing editor

to Geekwire. Alan, a very good evening to you. First, is it vaporware or is this the real thing

after years of promises? Good evening to Alan. Thank you. Well, I would say it's in a quantum state.
