The Concorde. It's a beauty; it's just about the most beautiful man-made thing
in the world. What a shame that it guzzled gas, made so much noise, and was
eventually put out of service. Still, its elegant silhouette, as well as the
fact that it can travel at twice the speed of sound, inspires me to no end. I
remember from a documentary that New Yorkers who were protesting on the noise of
the plane stopped in hushed awe when the Concorde was wheeled in. It was just
that stunning.
