Where did the idiom point of no return come from?

From travelers - if you travel so far that your supplies will run out before you could return to your origin, that's the point of no return - you have to keep going forward at that point because you know you'd never make it back.


Where is point of no return?

Probably safe to say mid-point. When it's as far to go back to your start point as to go on to your end point. I would point out that the "no return" part does not imply the mid-point. It is the point when it is no longer possible to return to your starting point safely. If I am flying 150 miles away and have enough fuel to travel 200 miles (and some reserve for safety) then the point of no return is 100 miles out, not 75 miles. It is the point when I can no longer return to my starting point safely and must continue on to the end point.

What is the meaning of point of no return?

It means that it is too late to change your mind about doing something. So if you were in an aircraft with enough fuel to travel one hundred miles, then the point of no return would be at mile 50 because after that point, you would not have enough fuel to make it back to your starting point.
