NASA appears to be pulling its SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest production plane ever made, out of retirement as the Trump administration teases its new line of hypersonic surveillance jets — but doubt…
Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I’d love to know what NASA has planned for it.
Everybody passes the physicals just fine, but all decide to quit instead of going through the onboarding process
The young punk bad guys in the movie are secretly trying to get an LLM to redesign it, but can’t because the Blackbird was a skunkworks program and some key principal princple either never got written down or DOGE cut the funding to restore the microfiche with the details so all the details got destroyed
They would be pretty retired but this probably isn’t that far off…
I like the idea that one becomes more and more retired each year after they stop working.
So Space Cowboys 2, except

Given the US diet and healthcare system, I’d say many are definitely 6ft under
