Seeing Blackbird fly again after all these years would be incredible. I'd love to know what NASA has planned for it.

So Space Cowboys 2, except

  • Everybody passes the physicals just fine, but all decide to quit instead of going through the onboarding process
  • The young punk bad guys in the movie are secretly trying to get an LLM to redesign it, but can't because the Blackbird was a skunkworks program and some key ~~principal~~ princple either never got written down or DOGE cut the funding to restore the microfiche with the details so all the details got destroyed

EDIT: Spelling.
