Traveling at Supersonic Speeds: Boom's Big Test Flight
Hi. This is the first video in our new Core Memory shorts series focused on science and technology. We're very happy you stopped by.
We'll call this episode Node 1.1 and have more coming soon.
In late January, Boom broke the sound barrier with its XB-1 jet. Our intrepid crew was on the ground to witness the event and to interview the folks at Boom who helped make the flight happen. Come with us to Mojave, California not only to see the flight but also to learn some Mojave history. It’s a special place that lets people do special things.
