marlo: i remember when they moved that shit through LA! also endeavour (it’s named after a ship that uses the pre-reform spelling)

me: idk what to do while sick youtube: do you want to watch an hour long professionally animated deep dive into explaining what makes the lockheed sr-71 blackbird so cool me: wellllllllll shucks i reckon i could be inclined

like dude how'd they do all that shit without CAD? that's so fucking cool

me looking at any plane designed before the 90s but especially any fucked up shit lockheed made, concorde, and/or any 747 model

I swear I love the SR-71 so much and it's only made cooler because they made it in a cave with a box of scraps. I really need to get my shop open so I can post up tribute items, retvrn to the wireframe blackbird apparel. concorde would be lovely as well

I have a soft spot for it as well. My family is big into aviation, and we went to see the “Bye Bye Blackbird” exhibit when they finally completely phased it out. Planes were a big thing for us. I even went to aviation camp! But that got REALLY militaristic really fast 😬

This was 10 years ago and the SR-71 could have been a bit more visible, but I think I stood and stared at it for an hour until my family made me move on.

oh i would absolutely stare at it for an hour+ if i went there with ken. i think they'd probably go explore everything else by the time i'd be done

would you see the space shuttle too bc idk i think it rocks

oh yeah

i think the air & space museum has discovery, which launched with my favourite astronaut on board! judy resnik! (my favourite cosmonaut is alexei leonov)

the air and space here has endeavor but they're remounting it vertical and I'm not sure when it reopens :(((

i remember when they moved that shit through LA! also endeavour (it’s named after a ship that uses the pre-reform spelling)

normally i wouldn’t nitpick but i guess it’s a proper noun in this case so yes, endeavour with a u. named after A Colonial Bullshit Boat

HMS Endeavour - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org

Endeavour gets credit as a Colonial Science Boat. The Sirius was the Colonial Bullshit Boat.

I Guess!

I mean she was part of His Majesty's Colonial Bullshit Navy at any rate.

yeah that was really cool and also completely insane, they were taking down streetlights and almost scraping buildings here's the project, it's very exciting but also sucky cause it's like "a while" californiasciencecenter.org/press-room/p...

Space Shuttle Endeavour Is Now Fully Stacked and Mated, Completing World’s Only Ready-to-Launch Space Shuttle Displaycaliforniasciencecenter.org

imo it’ll be totally worth it though

yeah seeing it on a full stack ought to be incredible, if I make it, I just never got to visit with the good camera while you could reach up and touch it

look if it opens when i have more of my shit together we can go and be photography nerds together

Damn America has really gone downhill

that shuttle looks like it’s going downhill too, in the literal sense
