The SR-71 has to be refueled as soon as it gets off the ground. This one must be permanently attached to the gas pump. The SR-71 wasn’t fueled until it was ready for takeoff and then only a little fuel was put into it. The skin of a SR-71 is built like fish scale to allow it to expand with the heat it built up at high mach speeds. The skin of the plane was also the skin on the fuel cell. It leaked fuel when it was cool. They put just enough fuel in at the last minute to get it up airborne and do a quick high speed run to heat the aircraft which sealed the tanks. Then they’d drop down and fuel up from an airborne tanker. It’s been claimed that the SR-71 is the pinnacle of human engineering. It was the last aircraft built using purely human brain power with a slide rule. Computers did most of the calculations after the SR-71. I think it was also the pinnacle of aerodynamic engineering. The Air Force accepted the original A 12 in 1959. It was Archangel 12 because it was #12 in the line of development. The engineering work had to have been done through the mid fifties. Almost seventy years later we have not developed anything with superior aerodynamics. There's only so much that can be done within the limitations of physics.

It can do the Kessel run in 12 parsecs..... Which also makes no sense!

I guess the Vulcans will be by soon to drink Vodka with them and dance to a jukebox. LOL. Yep. Zefram Cochrane must have lead the development team. The dude liked shotguns, and here I thought all Montanans used .270's. (all but Ingwe that is)

They attempted to make sense of that proclamation in one of the spin offs, because we all knew since Star Trek TOS that a parsec was a measure of distance and not time. Hans explained that he had piloted the 'Falcon through some regions of space considered too dangerous to navigate. Therefor he had "made the Kessel Run" in a record "shortest distance traveled". Yes, I agree. It still makes zero sense.

It takes over 8 minutes at the speed of light for light to travel from the sun to earth. My eyesight is faster than that, I can see the sun instantly when I open my eyes. Tell me what is faster than eyesight.
No doubt someone will make the effort, but I know my eyesight is damned fast. 8 minutes x 60 seconds x 186,000 is a long time.

And then we have "Icarus", observed via Hubble telescope. Half way across the universe, we are seeing it as it was 9 Billion years ago.
It has probably supernovaed or turned into a black hole billions of years ago. We have no way of knowing.

Whoooops1 The average distance to the sun from earth is 93 million miles. You were off 0.05 of a second, the time needed for the light to travel that extra 3.720 million miles......LOL>>>LOL
