NASA mysteriously trying to pull world’s fastest plane, SR-71 Blackbird, out of retirement — and won’t say why
Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I’d love to know what NASA has planned for it.

Probably because the Pedo-in-Chief saw it in a movie. I swear that’s how he gets some of his stupid fucking ideas-- like the reopening of Alcatraz. You can’t tell me that moron didn’t just finish watching The Rock (nic Cage movie) when he decided that.

It’s actually a plot point in the Rick and Morty spin-off “President Curtis.”

Never heard the Alcatraz one!
Just visited San Francisco for the first time a few weeks ago, and Alcatraz was dope. Thought it’s always been open to the public.

It has been open as a tourist destination, he wants to reopen it as a prison. I went there when I was a kid.

The fun way to watch that movie is from the perspective that it’s really a bond movie that doesn’t focus on Connery

His racist sidekick Musk was also obsessed enough to name one of his weird brood after that plane too.
