On This Day In History
1968: Soviets test first supersonic airliner

Quote Of The Day
"The conflagration recalled the Hindenburg, thirty-six years before it; it, too, blew apart in the air, a state-of-the-art air transport embodying the hopes of a totalitarian technocracy, which died a fiery public death."
(Howard Moon, Soviet S.S.T.: The Techno-Politics Of The Tripolev-144 )

I have a feeling 2024 may herald a few more conflagrations of totalitarian technocracies. Nurture and cherish the love and the peace wherever you may find it.
