This is the reason the dream of regular supersonic commercial aviation is still alive. Building weird stuff like this and this can mitigate the sound of sonic booms on the ground.

Then they’ll need to overcome the cost of fuel, as it’s still really fuel intensive to fly supersonic.

Telling air to gently caress itself off takes a lot of energy. The noses and leading edges of wings and tails on supersonic vehicles get insanely hot just from shoving through it.

Harryhausen's best friend was Ray Bradbury who he met at an LA Science Fiction Society meeting in the 30s. They kind of worked on one movie together, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, which was based on Bradbury's short story, The Foghorn.

All of his movies are stunning,. 20 Million Miles to Earth is my personal favorite.

There was a sequel to Grease released in 1982, starring Michelle Pfeiffer in her first major film role. I had no idea.

The film was so bad that Pfeiffer really struggled to land another role afterwards and it nearly sunk her career, with Brian De Palma refusing to let her audition for Scarface until a producer bent his arm.

Her first really big job was as a main cast member on the TV version of Animal House.
