In summary, there is a new concept for a supersonic plane called the Antipode that can travel at Mach 24 and reach its antipode in under an hour. It was designed by Charles Bombardier in collaboration with Abhishek Roy and can carry up to ten passengers. Bombardier was inspired to create this design in order to reach the diametrical opposite as quickly as possible. Despite the excitement surrounding this concept, there are also some humorous takes on it from sources like The Tonight Show.
