Because I have experienced sonic booms in the past I find this project very interesting

and could open up all kinds of interesting speed prospects for overland aircraft.

1. I could only watch about a minute of it

It was very Quirky.

2. His channels all have that 'dark' vibe...

but a quick search for "X-59" on YouTube will get you a bunch of other videos about the plane and the technology...including several directly from NASA.

Interesting stuff!

3. When I was a kid

the Air Force Base here was running big time and we heard them all the time. Every time there was a big boom we loved it. For some reason, probably nostalgia, I kinda miss that. The last time I heard one was when the space shuttle came over and it was a double. We were building my house and the workers and I stood outside looking for it and saw it come over and heard the booms. I would not want to hear them all the time again, however. They did kind of shake up things. Who ever would have thought of using something called a silencer?

7. Hated the sonic booms when I went skiing in Norway ...

... and there were military exercises close by. Those sonic booms hurts when you get hit in a narrow valley, where everything else is total silence. I grew up in a military family as a close neighbor to a bombing test site, and had no problems with their noises.

9. I would have been worried about

an avalanche! I am glad that did not happen to you!

8. The last one I experienced was around 1990, I was home for lunch and boom, sounded like

a tree fell on the house. I rushed out side to find nothing and my neighbor was outside also checking things out. Later I found out it was a sb caused by an Airforce pilot who went cowboy.

5. His voice drives me crazy.

6. The video is mistaken about the "Bone Yard". It's in Tucson not Phoenix's...

suburbs. Davis-Monthan AFB is within the city limits of Tucson. How does he make that mistake?
