How you learn, push the envelope till it splits then fix it and push further

That's awesome. I'm glad we are still pushing the envelope!

The big question is, though, is "when a hypersonic aircraft crashes, does it make any noise?"

This is exactly the reason I never pushed my HH52A over 95kts.!!!

Wow - New York to LA in 12 minutes. I want one (with a stronger skin).

To make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs. I thought we could already hit any area of the globe in a big hurry (the supposed basis of this whole thing). Still, I hope they make it work. New technology is usually a good thing.

Wow. Just wow.

Just dial it back a bit. Then the trip will only take 15 minutes.

And just how the hell am I going to get those three minutes of my life back? Hmmmm?

Just think about the things that they don't tell us...

This. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, but looking back on stuff that was made public YEARS after it was actually put in service, you can't help but know that there must be some really, really cool stuff in existence right now that we don't know about yet.
