@neiltyson in fairness, it had a terrible safety record

@m_older@neiltyson compared to what? The 747? -
@StevenBourn@neiltyson yes. statistically, much less safe. Many fewer flights, more crashes.

@neiltyson Why don't all planes travel 3x the speed of sound? -
@Rocket_Gamera
@neiltyson would you like to pay thousands of dollars for tickets? -
@molerat62@neiltyson Not if it were commonplace. Then the price would be the same as commercial jets today. -
@Rocket_Gamera
@neiltyson if we completely forget about gas consumption yeah -
@molerat62 @Rocket_Gamera@neiltyson + M=2.5 is as fast as you can go without affordable airframe materials melting. SR-71 was all-titanium -
@hws5mp @Rocket_Gamera@neiltyson and the laws that supersonic speeds above populated areas are illegal -
@molerat62 @Rocket_Gamera@neiltyson It's not the speed, it's the noise. NASA have done lots of work on quiet SST tech -
@hws5mp @Rocket_Gamera@neiltyson yup - 2 more replies
