Yeah, it's full of goodies.

Some approximate numbers and assumptions:
- halfway around the world = 12,400 miles
- break the trip into two 30 min, 6,200 mile sections, acceleration and deceleration
Acceleration Calculator | Definition | Formula
The acceleration calculator estimates acceleration using three different approaches – velocity difference, distance traveled over time, and net force vs. mass.

Per the interwebs, a normal passenger plane take off is 4.9 ft/s^2, and an F16 looks to be about 24.4 ft/s^2
A 2019 non-performance Tesla Model 3 (0-60mph in 5.2s) 16.6 ft/s^2
So uncomfortable but doable?

You left out the best part though. It is all well and good to take off in an F16 and accelerate for a minute or two like that. But to maintain that acceleration for 30 minutes straight? At the end of those 30 minutes you are going over 24000 mph. That's over Mach 32. That is faster than even SpaceX reaches in orbit, let alone in the atmosphere where friction and heat would quickly become an issue. That's without worrying about stuff like you literally need a rocket to space with multiple stages and a metric fuckton of fuel AND the ability to flip over and do that same exact process for another 30 minutes, to accomplish what he handwaved away as "hypersonics." Just like he handwaves away everything that requires any kind of rational thought process.Iwas an engineering student oncestayed at a Holiday Inn last night so......

This is still going on. Word around the cooler is they are sitting on a variety of mummified remains from different species and will bring them forward after these 2 have been vetted.

Mexican Congress holds second UFO session featuring Peruvian mummies
Mexico's Congress heard from researchers on Tuesday who declared authentic a set of three-fingered Peruvian mummies recently presented as potential evidence of non-human life forms, while declining to certify that the remains were extraterrestrial.

I don't see this. Still need to have a power source to generate a gravity well like that. At least, I personally wouldn't want anyone to try to make a miniature black hole on earth if we couldn't "pull the plug" on it if things got out of hand....

Surprised I never thought of this before, since both things entered my awareness around the same time. But if those Central American mummies are real, I wonder if they're the same as the "ant people" of Hopi legend.

‘Aliens,’ or a foreign power? Pentagon UFO chief says someone is in our backyard
The mere suggestion by a top government official that “aliens” could explain some UFO activity is the latest example of the government’s striking shift in tone regarding this issue.
