As someone who has actually flown on the Concorde, I certainly hope it will. Your negative attitude is what's wrong with the world today.

s/flown/ridden/. FTFY.

I'm going to guess you weren't at the controls.

Also, fair point. I have personally been holding back private supersonic travel for decades. I killed the 2707 a few years before my birth and worse than that, I personally lifted 2 billion Indians and Chinese out of poverty solely to cause demand for fuel (and thus prices) to skyrocket so that in case anyone managed to build an SST, it would be uneconomical.

I'm the inspiration for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZI_aEalijE

P.S. I'm a pilot who flies (not just rides) planes and I'd love to fly or ride this thing, doesn't mean it will ever happen.

LOL, I understand the difference and I'm sorry for mixing that up. I did in fact fly in the cockpit for some of the journey, but no I was not at the controls. I was also only 9 years old.
