And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Looking into the business end of the motor on an SR-71.
Thanks for posting this! I took the pic. It's the business end of an X-15 - the one I walk by on a regular basis. This X-15 is the one that went mach 6.7 - fastest aircraft ever (flown by a human and not a lifting body - space shuttle etc). Sorry if I mislabeled it when I sent it to you. I blasted it with an uber flash then boosted the contrast on the pic - why? Because it looks cool!

ReplyDeleteIt's electric?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the scene in Star Trek(2009) when Sulu kicks the Romulan guard over the blast panel, as he realizes he's about to be flash-fried.
