the A-12 or what became the SR-71, right, in the 1960s, what would you have chalked it up as?

Because I would have said like, holy shit, there's aliens.

Like, what is this thing?

It's going Mach 3.

It looks like this thing we've never, ever seen.

What's happening?

And what you realize is like, that actually isn't aliens.

That was humans, right?

That was Skunk Works and Kelly Johnson that built that.

And it was physics that dictated that design.

And I think what we've forgot is that we keep in our brain, extenuate that out to like, well, what's the SR-72?

In fact, we've seen advertisements for the SR-72 and it looks like a plane.

We can all recognize, we can all draw the lineage from that to this.

What we haven't looked at is like, well,

What are governments, and I don't even mean our government, right?

This could be China, this could be Russia, this could be us, this could be any developing nation that's pushing the envelope.

We're all focused on air.

I don't think air matters anymore.

We've seen satellites kind of dominate our ability to get data.

We don't really need reconnaissance aircraft anymore.
