I'm not siding up with Leonardo, but air travel has grown much more fuel efficient in recent years. Yeah, yeah, I know private jet vs commercial yet, but still. How else is he supposed to get there? Being a public figure makes commercial travel more difficult.

It's worth to note that space is only ~100 km away, but still - that's a lot of fuel to move just one person from London to New York.
