General Atomics, the company that builds the electromagnetic aircraft launch system for the Ford-class carriers, said Trump’s decision to revert to steam “warrants careful reconsideration”. The company told the Journal its work on the new ship is nearly 50% complete and “changing course now would introduce significant cost, schedule, and integration risks”.
Senator Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat and a former astronaut, was more blunt in his reaction to the news.
“I’ve launched off the front of aircraft carriers hundreds of times, have a Master’s degree in aeronautical engineering, and am a test pilot and even I wouldn’t suggest to the Navy how to engineer specific systems on its ships,” Kelly wrote on social media. “Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best – ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullshit.”
Plus a lot more self awareness and a seemingly genuine desire to be better, if the interviews I’ve read of late are even halfway truthful.
“Younger me was a fool and a sheep, and I won’t hide from that.” In essence. Credit where it’s due.
yah I had read the same and was genuinely surprised to hear it. Based upon their music you wouldn’t think so, but people find all types of creative ways to express their emotions and feelings, etc…
