@DJ-Christ-2006: It had a high angle of attack on landing. The "droop snoot" was to improve visibility for the flight crew. IIRC, it was also a feature of the planned Boeing SST, and the Tupelov SST
@Axilon: I suspect.... that if this titanium is well-fused, not only will it NOT blend, it will eat the blender.

@the-resonator: At least the A## will be close (there actually IS a difference in pitch between A## and B...just not on a piano...) but if you're playing E##, that's not an F... it's an F#. There's no black key between E and F. Same thing with B and C... B## is very close to C#, not C. Again, no black key between…

So building a backpack with nozzles, that you can plug into a fire hose, costs over $100,ooo?
@Phrosty: Somehow, I have my doubts that anything short of a full-face welder's mask is going to be terribly effective protecting against this laser... and good luck with that trying to drive a small boat.
@onicon: Didn't they say something in the article about the beam being a meter in diameter? And a word or two about sunglasses only making it worse?
@stlblufan: but Pluto isn't a planet
Bad timing, Giz... a large swath of the US warmed up this week. Should have done this before New Years before the heat wave hit. Even LA would have been able to participate.
@Moonshadow Kati: While the gas giants themselves may be "worthless"... if they're in the Goldilocks zone... and they happen to have moons of their own... the scientific value could literally be infinite.
@Dan Davis: Mozart or Beethoven would be more appropriate....
