I love how hard tech companies always have giant American flags in their facilities

Life is made of moments like these
Boom! We cracked it! Today we are introducing Boomless Cruise—supersonic flights up to 50% faster with no audible sonic boom. We quietly (har har) demo'd this on XB-1's first supersonic flight—three times actually. 🧵👇

In honor of @bscholl and team @boomsupersonic's historic supersonic flight today... here's a clip of my son doing a double aileron roll at Mach 1.1 in the sim! Plus a few from the archives: 1) Buying Geppetto and Doc cheap burritos to celebrate XB-1's first flight last year 2) Commemorating a 1/1 piece by @timmcdonagh from his 2018 WSJ illustration at XB-1's unveiling in 2020 3) My Twitter team touring the original XB-1 mockup in 2016 Ten years in the making... slowly, then all at once. Blake exists at the intersection of grit and grandiosity. Excelsior, my friend!

Could not be prouder of my friend @bscholl … and of my angel investment in @boomsupersonic - putting the literal accelerate in e/acc!
Today marks a big milestone toward the rebirth of supersonic passenger flight. For the first time in decades, a civil supersonic airplane has taken to the skies. The @boomsupersonic XB-1 met all of its first flight objectives—and we’re only going further, higher, and faster from here.
