Monsieur Président, a second plane has hit the Arc de Triomphe.
It’s crazy to think that France and the UK managed to collaborate on Concorde and Le Chunnel within a few short decades, even though you still feel like the ownership of Calais is probably not 100% settled.
I mean, I’m pretty sure it’d have fewer deaths. Still, don’t do that. Terrorism is bad. Even if it’s against the Fr*nch.
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
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.
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).
Both the Eiffel Tower and the Concorde were marvels of engineering in their time.
