“You sure that’s a Blackbird?”
In the article
…is an actual aircraft under construction. NASA's mystery aircraft: Is it a new Blackbird? The mystery deepened when All-In host Chamath Palihapitiya referred to the aircraft as a Blackbird. Isaacman responded: “ You sure that’s a Blackbird? ”He then described NASA's direction more broadly, saying the agency was getting “back in the business of flying high and fast again.” He also said NASA would work with industry on new airframe and propulsion designs and…

Isaacman responded: “You sure that’s a Blackbird?”He then described NASA's direction more broadly, saying the agency was getting “ back in the business of flying high and fast again. ” He also said NASA would work with industry on new airframe and propulsion designs and return to more ambitious flight testing. That leaves several possibilities. The image could represent an early concept, an…
