If I could bring two of my best friends to a spaceport and take a rapid trip to a city hundreds of kilometers away (think half an hour to cross a continent), what would would be the vehicle's flight characteristics?
I am mainly asking about the top speed, maximum altitude, and flight time. Since there are passengers involved, I was also wondering about any G-forces they might encounter. For an example, what if I and my two space buds took such a rocket from Cape Canaveral to Columbia, SC?
