The SR-71?
X-37s.

And I see there have already been accusations of spying. Duh?

The SR-71 was accused of spying all the time too. It can fly over radar.

About a quarter of the way so far.

Hollywood has lied about how quickly these things happen! :D

You're going to get really mad now. It's in Montana in 2044. Toledo is dead center in 2099. So plan for your floating head in a jar to be transported up here and we can watch it then.

Also, just saw the show. 10/10. Would recommend. It's actually pretty fucking amazing.

I laughed so I can't even be mad.

Serious note: Make it to a totality. Easy the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Voyager 1 is phoning home again.

15 BILLION miles away and it hasn't gone anywhere in the grand scheme of things. Amazing.

Maybe Moonfall was onto something.

If you didn't see the movie...well, you're lucky.
