In this episode, the guys discuss the recent accomplishments of NASA’s X-59 QueSST and Boom Supersonic’s “Baby Boom” - namely how they are making supersonic travel a quieter proposition.
But before we dive into supersonic booms, it turns out the UK really wants access to everyone’s digital everything - not just the Brits data. Fortunately, Apple is (trying to) do something about it.
