Let the shockwave topple monuments

[sovay]

I felt much more ambivalent about the development of the Bell X-1 after I learned the history of the Miles M.52, but I still recognize the loss of Chuck Yeager. I grew up building and launching model rockets; one of my childhood talismans was a Matchbox SR-71. I can't remember not knowing about him.

I have learned more about your dreams of flight in the past two weeks than the previous nineteen years, but you’ve always been looking up, so it makes a wonderful kind of sense.

This thing I am writing for you is a MESS but I am pretty committed to the disaster.

It was not a mess! It wasn't even all that drafty! You even had most of the blocking in there right from the start! (Your ability to draft with blocking, actually, has taken a couple of levels in the course of this book. It's cool.)
