The opportunities are immense, immense, from the cure of cancer to, by the time your children are able to go to the airport on their own, they're going to be flying subsonically at 22,000 miles an hour.

Well, Joe, that would be quite an accomplishment, given that 22,000 miles an hour is almost thirty times the speed of sound. Not sure you know what "subsonically" means...
Also, seems a tad unlikely that commercial passenger jets are going to be flying at ten times the current air speed record in our lifetimes, but hey, dare to dream, I guess.
