“I found a major flaw in your security that could allow for malicious games to be thrown on steam with no oversight. Not only that, But you ignored my attempts to contact you about it. So I exploited the flaw in a completely safe manner to get your attention. Brought the flaw to your attention…

What’s funny is the common inlet/exhaust w/ a ramjet/scramjet is something I used on a design back in high school for the NASA Junior Aerospace Scholars Program.

I don’t have the description for it all still written down, but I do remember this being a multiple mode setup to allow it to be a LEO spacecraft where it…

I’d like to see it done, just because it’s there. The X-15 STILL holds records that have lasted since the 60's, we should break them, because we can. We should ALWAYS be striving to push the envelope. As for practical uses for a hypersonic aircraft, I’ll freely admit they are marginal, but they could also be a…

Ha! Dude wanted a Trout souvenir, but only came away with a red herring.

I couldn’t use this Getty shot of Whiteside stuffing the shit out of Green for the lead image because it isn’t horizontal, but it’s great:

All I have to offer, aside from a “good article,” is an additional:

The radiation stickers were a nice touch! Nothing chases lookie-loos away faster than the thought their giblets may start to glow.

I was an A-7 crew chief with the 44550th and I think that “cloaking device” has been repainted. I seem to remember it had brighter colors and a radiation warning sticker on it. But yeah, fuel truck drivers probably got the brunt of our false indignation when they got in the area. “See that thing hanging under the…

I’m pretty sure they tied 12-12. Your general point about it going against the script still stands, though.
