Scott Ott demonstrates failure to launch, after SpaceX demonstrates failure to land. It’s a propitious start to this week’s pre-production meeting of the men of Right Angle. What do Bill Whittle and Stephen Green have planned for your viewing enjoyment? Watch and learn, folks — watch and learn.
Thank you to our Members.

Here’s a quick question I’m sure has been asked and answered already but I’m gonna ask anyway. Do they stream the Backstage show live where we can watch it or is it pre-recorded then release?
Also, in case you have not heard, Jeep also refused to rename the Jeep Cherokee when the woke demanded that they do.
I went to the emergency room just under a year ago. When they turned me loose, I had to spend some time sitting in the waiting room while my phone charged enough to let me call for a ride home.
There was one other person waiting in this big waiting room.

Wow. Arguably the best Backstage ever. I am exhaustibly pumped up for what is to come.
‘Spot on Scott’. May be your new sobriquet.
The outcome of the Chauvin trial won’t matter. Either way violent protests will happen. My humble prediction.
I worked in a military mortuary ’67-’68. I saw bodies ‘stacked’ up.
The idea of ‘impending doom’ started on August 6 and 9, 1945. We lived with that idea for many years. That doom never happened. Now a questionable pandemic is our fear?. God is good.
I am anxiously awaiting for the dawn of the solar powered jet airplane.
When my wife is prepping dinner I stay out of the kitchen, lest I may hear a sonic boom. lol
It is not necessary to vaccinate 80% of adults to reach herd immunity. That figure doesn’t count the people who have had Covid and recovered, which is probably nearing 50%.
Also, the ‘variants’ are nowhere near enough to being so different from the original to make any vaccine less effective.
It is a shame that people go along with the official narrative – live in the lie – when the price for standing up to it is still so low. The price for living in truth will only keep increasing unless a stand is taken now, and ultimately the price will be the Gulag or worse.
scott…you’re white, you’re male and you’re not a globalist shill.
that makes you a threefer, alea iacta est. tally ho.
bill, you’re getting old…not that there is anything wrong with that, as i am 72.
Shelby Steele’s movie “Who Killed Michael Brown” is pertinent to the Chauvin trial. It’s offered on Amazon.
I just looked at the Aerion website, out of curiosity, and I have to agree with Bill’s analysis. I wonder: Where is the market demand for a supersonic airliner, especially in this post-Covid world? And there’s no mention of economics, i.e. how it would fit in to the fare structure. It’s another “build it and they will come” scheme, IMHO.
I loved the quote on th e one page:“We are committed to bringing people closer together in a more vibrant and compassionate world where distance is no longer a barrier, and to innovation that is kind to our planet. TOM VICE, CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT, AND CEO
Call me cynical if you must, but my immediate reaction was: Of course! Just what the world needs….another method of bringing dissimilar people and cultures together in order to create more friction and misunderstanding. (And I, too, thought that the name was “Aryan”).
I think this is an ultimate luxury item. The idea that NetJets has already pre-ordered is telling. Now, not just good enough to have your own G. If time is money, then if you are really important and wealthy, you need to be able to go from NYC to LA in 2 hours, rather than 6. Even if that plane only hold 8 people.
One of the biggest issue with the Concord was that it only held 100 people. Just too expensive to be viable. Well these folks say the big plane will hold 50.
No wonder they are going all in on the climate stuff. Only Bezos and his ilk, and rich pols like John Kerry and celebs like De Caprio will be able to afford it.
I agree that there might be a market for private use of such an aircraft, albeit a small one. The commercial market is a different story, I think. It will end up being a redo of Concorde, a premium service. The masses will have to settle pretty much for what they have now, i.e. cattle-car service at the speeds to which we’re accustomed.
It might find a market if it is allowed to go supersonic over land. That is an enormously bigger market than the Concorde was allowed.

To Bill at @20:00: Don’t mince words, Bones. What do you really think?
Not even got that far yet, but I have hunch what’s coming…thanks for the heads up, I’ve put my tea down.
If you go back and watch the CDC Director’s video when she says that she’s “going off script”, watch her eyes as she’s actually reading from a screen in front of her, probably a laptop on the table. What a propaganda machine this has become!
To the point about feelings trumping reason in regards to policy: The modern gun-control argument is predicated entirely upon circumventing logic and real-world statistics by making appeals to emotion. And it sadly works on many people…
When you can’t bury people even during normal times bodies will pile up. The first thing they did was stop funerals during covid… if they had acted normally there would have been no issues and we would have had herd immunity in June of last year
i agree with that allison. i have a good friend who’s nephew is a microbiologist and he says (anecdotal as a given) essentially the same thing. i think his month stated was august (of last year). what a complete con job this has and is continuing to be. one would believe that at some point the bond market has got to give up it’s dead.
2021 could yet turn out to be a bumpy ride. besides all the politics i am not convinced the world stock markets will remain bullish into the fall. your thoughts?
So Scott, if your solution is to remove the cameras live streaming the trial, how would you go about getting this done? Pretty big headwinds against that if you consider how many outlets benefit from this streaming. How would you propose to battle that headwind?
the larger problem is our k12 systems. they’re destroying our country. the two sides are set in stone. it’s no longer good vs evil. more like not so good against pure evil.
As Bill is describing the web site he found, I had one word floating through my mind, that Scott said later… vaporware.
I think the Volts wagon thing was revealed as a hoax.
Steve could add the Portland Antifa calling the cops when the guy got out of a truck they were beating on and pulled a gun on them.
Regarding Chavin, I wonder if the jury will see the info that wasn’t really released and realize he did not kill Floyd but the poor guy did himself in… or if they will convict him and on appeal, quietly and a year later, he will be acquitted. Pretty much eliminates the right “to a speedy trial” though.
I wonder if he would be willing to have another cop kneel on him in the court room to demonstrate that a healthy adult is not killed by by academy taught methods.
I’m not sure if I’m in agreement with Scott on the George Floyd trial or not. I think I am but …
I watched all 93 minutes of available body cam footage from the officers in that incident. I didn’t see any cops do anything wrong, including Derek Chauvin. Now I will full well admit that many, probably most, people don’t have time and inclination to sit through all of those 93 minutes and pay close attention to the visible details, so my opinion is formed from what I actually saw, which was not only what actually happened but all of what happened.
The fact that I sat through all that video and paid very close attention to it all predisposes me to think that Derek Chauvin is likely innocent but … I only saw that video, I don’t have access to the case being presented by the prosecution and defense. So I’m willing to think Derek Chauvin is innocent until he’s proven guilty in a court of law.
So hey, Scott, are we in agreement here or not?
So hey, Scott, are we in agreement here or not?
Sure sounds like it to me. And good on you for watching all of the available body cam video. I definitely fell into the not inclined category. I am sure I could have found the time.
If I am one of the defense attorneys, you can bet the jury would see it all. With pauses to point out what was or was not done per the policies in place.
The antidote for the first-Infinity-commercial-esque promo for the supersonic jet is named Elon Musk.
He would run a plane/ship “on hydrogen,” i.e., split hydrogen atoms. It’s just engineering.
And I love hearing that tweet about the future of Boca Chica. He’s going to build a city down there that will make Miami look old, cold, and boring.
All this talk about wacked timelines: It’s almost as if Musk went back to 1960, restarted the timeline, and now we’ll have that Jetsons future we all expected to have 30 years ago.
Steve: Instead of bail for politicians; can we revisit the Harvest King principle?
I find it very refreshing to hear that a politician actually had to live with the consequences of his own politics. If more of them had to do that, they’d be much better politicians … And people.
The real impact will be if the next guy this person confronts also calls the police and the media reports that accurately of his past run-in with this politician. Lots of ifs, and not bloody likely to get reported when it happens. Yea, I said when. I feel comfortable assuming recidivism, especially in Chicago when there are no consequences.
Imagine, 3 weeks in a row where “Backstage” has posted before 9 PM Central. Good job guys even though a general malaise has settled on almost everyone there is encouraging news. The “Ever Given” of Evergreen Shipping has been freed without a lot of drama. Seems they finally hired someone who knew what he was doing like the Salvage Company contracted to do the job.
Anyway guys have a great week. Remember Easter.
