NASA still builds stuff? I thought they were just contracting out everything to Tesla or SpaceX or whoever

Key info here: "Poised to" and "First flight of the X-59 is targeted for early 2023"

Its all cope and hope until then

Seventy-five years ago, a sonic boom thundered for the first time over the high desert of California.

Oh, bullshit. That's just as big a lie as Charles Lindbergh being the first to fly across the Atlantic.

Wait, what? The first sonic boom was over the desert. Not Yeager though. Who was the first to fly across the Atlantic from US to Europe?

The first sonic boom in the high desert of California was doubtless a bullet from a high powered rifle

Who was the first to fly across the Atlantic from US to Europe?

Well, not first to fly from the US, but that's not what I said.

Lindbergh was the first to fly solo over the Atlantic.

I've read accounts of the first sonic boom over the desert being Major(?) Welch, one of the pilots at Pearl Harbor. He was test flying a prototype jet, IIRC, an F86, and he broke the sound barrier in a dive. After a couple he was told essentially to stop, Yeager was going to try in the X1.****
