Saw this on the BBC this morning, a plane that goes 6,000 or 7,000 miles an hour, ten times the speed of sound to beat its old record of Mach 7 by hitting Mach 10. I just hope the cheesey disposable shaver industry does not feel the need to keep up to these Mach levels.

Hmmm. I've seen this plane before... Oh wait! I remember.

[all funniness aside: wouldn't it be neat to have that X-43 on a stick?]

Great! Now if NASA could only get something into orbit . . . .

The Mach 3 was bad enough for my face. I don't think I'd have any skin left with the Mach 10.
I figure it will be about another year or two before Gilette stops making the Sensor Excel and I have to switch to a straight razor.
