All I want to know is how safe it is, and how loud the sonic boom would be when flew over, not how expensive the ticket would be, nor "Will regular passengers be able to handle the physical effects of such high-speed travel."

It's not the speed, it's the acceleration that kills you. Or deceleration, if you're unlucky.

I am sure it is just as safe as it sounds lol

The problems start when it breaks through the safe barrier.
