Hey. You know what? I just love aviation, but this is messed up. Show me the need for this type of investment. It is always more money for war and destruction. We have people begging in our streets. Most of the school districts in Colorado have classes four days per week. No money for teachers. No music. No art. Not even gym. We’ve got to get our priorities straight people! I realize I’m off topic here and I apologize but something is seriously wrong here.
I woulda said priorities should be food, clothes and a roof over ya head, but whatever floats your boat.
I think they should think outside the BOX, NO SR-72, the Russians are already thinking about how they can detect it just like the SR-71. Like my Dad would say think not what your enemy thinks, do the opposite and think different.
Lockheed is good but Norththorp is thinking the same thing. But why one engine why not three.

The SR-71 Blackbird is a real "Moetengator" Stay tuned for further development.
Orbital strike is a nogo. Retasking recon satellites to cover a tactical situation, takes too long, limited orbital resources that are oriented to Strategic intel, not Tactical. Have to have a Quick Response Capability for things that "Pop Up."
Well boys and girls any idea how long it takes to retask a satellite?
