#function over form but aren’t there LIMITS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Your Slider one shot, so frustrated on Slider's behalf! Ugh and Maverick is also a stubborn bastard. I'll have to gather my thoughts but......

My jaw dropped at the Scaled Composites shade! I was not expecting that one. Tell me how you really feel about Burt Rutan LMAO.

i feel so so fine about burt rutan, admire his career, but i have a visceral “do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created here on earth” reaction every time i see a scaled aircraft.

like human beings were not meant to fly machines that look like this for another millennium or so & this big ugly fat fucker has been flying since 1998 for instance:

like what the fuck. this is the hubris of man at this point. scaled composites is approaching tower of babel levels of human arrogance. what are they COOKING.

#im sure they’ve got some classified bullshit that looks like a big flying dong or something #and flies at Mach 12 for 24 hours straight solar powered #idek how to tag this. #general aviation #i guess. #anyway thanks for the ask. scaled does good work but at a mortally steep aesthetic cost #function over form but aren’t there LIMITS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #scaled design philosophy: have a child draw a spider and turn that blueprint into an airplane #actually mav being like ‘ugh sc is so weird gross’ is super out of character he would probably love to fly a weird abomination like this #or stratolaunch etc #anon if ur who i think u r — are u also upset/unsurprised abt spacex launch today? #im betting on 4/20 launch (very in character for them)
