Imagine flying from NY to London in just a few hours. That’s the future Blake Scholl and his team at @boomaero are working towards. For this episode of Hard Tech, @snowmaker visited @bscholl in the Mojave desert to learn how they built the first American civil supersonic jet.
This is extremely inspiring. Very glad I watched ✅ Blake describing his ambition to make boomless supersonic flight a reality in the earliest days of Boom hit really home for me. I am currently in the same position with making Orbital Bitcoin Mining a reality @SpaceRaceEnergy. Currently looking for answers under rocks that nobody has seem to take the time turn over before. Best time of my life. I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else. Making Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) safe & economically feasible for the 1st time via mining digital energy in encrypted form & sending it back to Earth is well worth putting all my chips in one basket for. This will indeed expand the space based economy. Monetizing unlimited amounts of stranded solar energy in space (& taking advantage of unlimited cooling too) is only something that can happen with Orbital Bitcoin Mining. @SpaceRaceEnergy will be the 1st to make it happen. TBH, that’s the most exciting part to me. Currently building an all-star team, so anyone reading this, please reach out, DM’s always open. Thanks for putting this doc together @bscholl & @snowmaker!
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl deeply inspiring!
@ycombinator @garrytan @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Such an inspirational story! @bscholl came into the aviation industry as an outsider, rapidly acquired skills, knowledge & networks using first principles thinking, and overcame biases to bring back supersonic flight. And he did this relatively later in life! Well done sir 🙌🏼 🫡
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl We can already fly from NY to London in "just a few hours".
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl love the company - copy could be better - We can fly from NY to London in just a few hours today 😅
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Antigravitic is the future. No carbon, just Gravitational Resonance thrusters not literal boomer technology.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl How much money do I have to save to afford a seat on this flight?
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Does it come with a buy-one-get-one discount?
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl This is revolutionary
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Very cool. Looking forward to flying on it.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl to imagine that concorde was doing this some 50 years ago is just amazing. I can only imagine the amount of tech invented last century that is in a draw somewhere waiting to be picked up
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Not only imagine but it was like that 40 years go with the concord…
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl That would be crazy! Would love this over the 9-10 hour flight from Houston to London
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl "the first American civil supersonic jet"... yeah, the key word in that sentence is 'American'... 50+ years later than Europe. US is lame and this is doomed and stupid.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Here's a random thought: How about not scaling up to an airliner and just figuring out how to mass produce the single-seater so people can fly themselves at supersonic speed wherever they want to go.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl You can fly from NY to London in a few hours, TODAY!
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Ny London'a isterlerse 5 dkda uçsunlar, Dünya'da savaşlar, açlık devam ediyorsa, maneviyat yoksa anlamı yok :(( İnsanlık teknoloji olarak çok ilerledi ama ruhu çok aç kaldı, hala gecenin karanlığındayız aydınlanma olması dileğiyle @hhakkikahveci
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl A phone that has the call/messaging apps only. A device only to listen to music from internet. A filter (algorithm) that stays on your device and you can customize anything you view on the internet, social media. An AI search instead of a search bar on every website.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl This is very cool. Thanks for sharing
@ycombinator @paulg @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl True fans were there when this was all just a dream.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Let’s go Boom!
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Those in 80s didnt have to imagine they could there was Concorde to do that. Stop peddling this as something new something revolutionary. It has already been done and to death for that matter.
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl It's amazing what can be achieved when engineers call the shots instead of MBA and DEI hires!
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl Only if it’s affordable which it probably won’t be
@ycombinator @boomaero @snowmaker @bscholl So inspiring! And nice to see the @boomaero website is powered by #WordPress x.com/wpdotgallery/s…
