Didnāt the French do that already, and then shut it down a few decades later?

And seats on the Concorde were very expensive
For example, in 1997, the round-trip ticket price from New York to London was $7,995 (equivalent to $12,900 in 2020)
There were very few seats per plane, but I guess at that price they didnāt expect many.

Yes, but on a private jet, one can do whatever one wishes to do.

As I understand it, the concorde appealed to people who wanted to do daytrips to London/Paris from New York.
three hours flight time, a couple hours in London, three hours back.
If the flight time is suddenly seven hours each way, the logistics donāt work, even if youāre able to skip TSA lines by flying privately.
Bothe options are many many times what I can afford, so take it with a grain of salt.

Thatās sometimes the problems with new drugs. Maybe it has what looks like a positive change in an organ or tissue. But does that really equate to a better life for the patient? IIRC, there was this same controversy over drugs to treat osteoporosis. At first it was clear they added bone mass. But bone has a very complex architecture; for example in the femoral head, bone fibers follow along lines of stress:
(Cool, what?) But if bone material is added willy-nilly it may increase bone density but not contribute to protection from, say, hip fractures. Over the years, theyāve shown that the drugs do help to prevent fractures.
Exactly. But the only way to get data is to use them (and report the results honestly).

This is probably way past science and into the shilling for webviews territory, but
Perhaps Iām too stuck up to realize Roger Cormanās contributions to the popularization of science.

I think they sound like a 1950ās flying saucer rather than a horror movie.
Around here itās almost deafening.

yeah, they definitely are more like old flying saucers or death ray beams than screaming, in my book.

Yep. Have you noticed any difference between the daytime and nighttime?
