This is pretty cool. Boeing and their employees are an easy target to bash, but this is still pretty cool.

I am of two minds with this kind of thing.
On the one hand, I cannot stand marketing where a company dislocates their shoulder to pat themselves on the back. However, some said it couldn't be done, others said it could be done but it wouldn't be very safe, and others said it would be too expensive. The science, mechanics, design, and everything that goes into this instance of STFU is interesting. My wife is starting her engineering education, and while she may not be interested in aeronautics, this is still pretty cool. |
| Jesus Steve, don't worry about the god damn gas tanks...Ya'alls know that they are gonna charge you double the seat price and me tripple for the x-tra weight we both carry around from the excess of booze and groceries we consume mass quantities of on a daily basis. Now go and watch the night race/parade in Richmond and wait for the union haters to chime in for christ sake.. |
