The X-43A flew this afternoon.

4780 miles per hour.

Not bad.

Especially for a 12 foot length/4 ft wingspan!

Makes it tough to get a ride though.

I don't want a ride unless it has cup holders.

The passenger version uses midget stewardesses.

Actually, I believe it has a 5 foot wingspan, so
there may be room for cupholders after all.

I think drinking is safe at 5000 mph as long as
there are no changes in direction!
