   A guy in my office is obsessed with Concorde, and gets upset every year on the anniversary of the last flight. He even has a mini Concorde on his desk. Seriously tempted to chuck it when he pisses me off.

     @fesshole it's a marvel of engineering and a freakishly beautiful aircraft. But not sustainable neither economically nor ecologically. Also, looks like we can exist happily without ultrasonic travel. So the program was doomed anyway. Still, video of flight 4590 with bright orange flame behind it is one of the most emotionally disturbing images I saw in my life

     @fesshole Should let the guy over hear you talking with another colleague about how Concorde is just a Tupolev Tu-144 ripoff.
