Eh, fuel can be synthesized, likely better than kero for this use case, and will eventually become cheaper as renewables gain dominance. Progressing civilian aviation is a value that endures (although I would argue for it’s reduction during the climate crisis).
I don’t get it. What are they advocating?
Yearning for the days of an absurdly fast (partially) French jet that’s been decommissioned? Pretty & in front of another pretty French thing
Wiki - Concorde
Coolest shit though.
Perhaps they yearn for a time when technology and innovation were considered part of human progress, and represented hope for the future.
I’d definitely rather have supersonic passenger flight than an LLM “AI” bubble …
I’m so so sorry but a new supersonic passenger plane is being developed.
It is funded by Saudi Aramco, to extend the demand for fossil fuels 😭
God, what the fuck.
Silver lining: The more I watch us allow each other to kill the planet, the less I worry about great filter theory.

Both the Eiffel Tower and the Concorde were marvels of engineering in their time.
