Mass point to point rocket travel will not be a thing anytime soon. The main hurdles are extreme cost, horrifically slow load and unload times, and high rates of death. Manned rocket missions have a ~1% fatality rate. That is many, many, many orders of magnitude from anything even approaching safe.

Even if you are somehow ok with such extreme danger levels just to travel, the devastatingly slow load and unload times kill the only stated benefit. You can’t just launch them from anywhere, Space X is talking about requiring a ferry trip to a platform (slow). Then you have to get everyone fitted into (and later out of) a space suit. And no, you can’t just skip basic safety and not put people in a suit that will keep them alive in the event of an emergency. That step alone takes hours.

No, the Concorde is practical in comparison.
