the ground. Thrust SSC was overbuilt and still took a pummelling from
shock waves. A wingless Starfighter sounds like long shot to me.

But having said that good luck to them!


I hope they are installing a zero-zero ejection seat. IIRC the F-104
wasn't equipped with that capability.

Lord, I hope not, LSR safety crews have enough to contend with.
I know we had a hell of a time trying to catch a car on fire that went
past us at 200+mph last year , took us what seemed forever to catch it.
Would not want to attempt a rescue on a vehicle with an armed seat...
