I want to start by saying, Houston, we have a problem.
In 1969, we landed on the moon for the first time.
And the same year we flew Concorde, the faster than the speed of sound airliner.
The future was supposed to be faster and better.
We were supposed to look forward to innovation in air and in space.
And yet half a century later, we can't go to the moon and we can't fly fast in the speed of sound.
And not only have we lost the ability to go fast, we've lost the ability to do things even at any kind of reasonable speed.
This was the Wall Street Journal just a couple of weeks ago.
It now takes Lockheed more than two years to build a new Patriot missile interceptor.
This is crazy.
This is no way to build the future.
And this is no way to win a war.
If we look back at history, this is the Boeing 707.
This is the airliner that brought us into the jet age.
But if we fast forward half a century, this is the 787, their latest airliner, which by the way was launched more than 20 years ago.
You can't spot the difference.
It doesn't fly any faster.
It doesn't make the world any more accessible.
Prior to Boom, the closest America ever got to a supersonic airliner was a mock-up.
But I guess it's all okay because flying's really great, right?
