The X-15 was a rocket and the SR-71 was a loving turbojet why don't you just compare the fuckin voyager probes at that point because who gives a gently caress what propels them

To be somewhat pedantic the SR-71 was a combination turbojet and ramjet.

It's also not a super crazy comparison because they both flew in atmo and used wings for their primary lift, unlike the Voyager probe or the rockets that launched them into space.

I can't wait for the Bezos press conference where he announces he bought OneWeb, Rivian, and just to throw salt in the wound, Musk's house. Then he can crash land a New Glenn rocket on Musk's house.

Owning your kid so hard that you call them Artificial Intelligence

Do you think they talk about that plane a lot? Like bring it up every day? "Hey gromes do you think our car could go as fast as a plane?" "What kind of lovely songs should I make and should they be related to that plane we like?"

Rich people naming their children stupid poo poo is pretty loving ridiculous.

The kids of billionaires don't deserve to be bullied because they have a stupid name they didn't even choose for themselves.

They should be bullied because they are the children of loving billionaires.

But the sr71 doesn't fly any more because a plane was built to hunt it down.:cop:

They could have named their kid after something that doesn't get hosed by exploding rockets.

Even though apparently a lot of women do I still can't wrap my head around why anyone would want to gently caress Musk. He looks like and sounds like the wrong end of a muffler.

nah to be even more pedantic the ramjet/turboramjet stuff is just nerd hype for the engine bleeding air from the fans (and into the afterburner flow) to keep the compressor from melting itself at speed, which allowed for better afterburner performance because it was getting richer air that hadn't been run through the primary combustion flow - a ramjet would be making use of airspeed to do the job of the compressor which isn't what's happening, they're just venting otherwise dangerous/useless air directly into the afterburner and the afterburner is loving it. It'd be like saying the P-51 was technically a jet because the cooling system's outflow generated a little bit of thrust as the engine and radiator were heating the cooling air up enough to duct it out under pressure. At it's most charitable it could be described as faking some ramjet-like characteristics (in the way F1 cars borrow airplane characteristics, flip them upside down, and turn that lift into downforce) and from there Musk would probably say it's a scramjet or something.

It's still a super crazy comparison because the X-15 had more in common with the space shuttle/Virgin Galactic/Spaceship One than the blackbird, and had to be hauled up to altitude by a normal plane - like the voyager probes being hauled up by their rockets. It's way easier to go fast when you're not burning fuel or design purity on takeoff and the first 30k feet.
