Question

Point of No Return the position or time after which it is impossible to go back, change your mind, or do something different

Accepted Answer

We can't cancel the show now. We've reserved the theater and sold tickets. We've reached the point of no return. During World War II, pilots knew that they had only enough fuel to fly a certain number of miles. The point when they would reach the crucial mark was called the point of no return. If they continued to fly on, they would not have enough fuel to return to their home base.
