My grandfather got to fly in the 2 seater U-2. It must have been late60’s-70’s. He taught at CalTech and owned a large meteorology company. I didn’t learn about it until his funeral despite us being insanely close. He’s of the generation where you didn’t chat about that stuff I guess. I’m assuming it was atmospheric testing with NASA. They were originally based out of Pasadena. Pretty awesome and really not that surprising. One of those guys that just did it all. Far from me.

The air pressure at cruising altitude for the U2 is around 4 percent of what it is at sea level. So you'd die just as quickly as being in space.

@@DavidEVogel I would like to avoid planning a war of aggression or missions that are predominantly directed against civilians. However, I am aware that not everything is black or white and that the boundaries are blurred. Besides, everyone has their own truth.

@CN-dv9nj Год назад

You don't realize that USA has agreed and signed a policy of defensive responses only. USA has never 'fired the first shot". I don't know if you are USA citizen or not but I'd bet most Americans don't realize this. USAF motto is War is the hobby and peace is the profession. Meaning everyday is perfectly practiced combat missions and the prayer is that peace prevails but if we are attacked being ready to defend intending to win is protection for citizens.

@CN-dv9nj Год назад

USA has a policy of defense and humanitarian use only. We don't fire the first shot ever. Never have we fired the first shot. So your dream is already true.
