The SR-71’s speed was not limited by the power of its engines. It was limited by the heat its structure could withstand.
Titanium makes up 93% of the SR-71s structure. A material that had never been truly utilized to its full potential until the SR-71 came along.
Each SR 71 was handmade. That means everyone of the Blackbirds were ever so slightly different. The men that flew the SR’s had their favorites and then there were the hangar queens that no one liked to fly..
The reason why titanium was so expensive was the process to make it usable.
The first reliable process to produce chemically pure titanium was developed in the 1940s. This process made the SR-71 possible. It begins by first converting the titanium dioxide to titanium chloride.
How do we convert the Titanium?
To do this titanium dioxide is mixed with chlorine and pure carbon and heated. Any oxygen or nitrogen leaking in will ruin the process, so this has to be done in relatively small batches in a sealed vessel. Once this process is complete, we have Titanium Chloride.
We then need to purify the Titanium Chloride from any impurities in the titanium ore through distillation. Where we heat the product and separate titanium chloride using its lower boiling point.
This Titanium Chloride vapor is fed into a stainless steel vessel containing molten magnesium at 1300 kelvin. Titanium is highly reactive with oxygen at high temperatures, so the vessel also needs to be sealed and filled with argon. Here the Titanium Chloride reacts with the magnesium, which itself is an expensive metal, to form titanium and magnesium chloride.
At times the engineers were perplexed as to what was causing problems, but thankfully they documented and cataloged everything, which helped find trends in their failures.
They discovered that spot welded parts made in the summer were failing very early in their life, but those welded in winter were fine. They eventually tracked the problem to the fact that the Burbank water treatment facility was adding chlorine to the water they used to clean the parts to prevent algae blooms in summer, but took it out in winter. Chlorine as we saw earlier reacts with titanium, so they began using distilled water from this point on.
They discovered that their cadmium plated tools were leaving trace amounts of cadmium on bolts, which would cause galvanic corrosion and cause the bolts to fail. This discovery led to all cadmium tools to be removed from the workshop.
Converting Titanium for the SR-71 is really slow
This reduction reaction is extremely slow, between 2 and 4 days. It’s pretty clear that titanium is expensive and extremely difficult to work with. But without Titanium and the SR-71, we wouldn’t be where we are today, talking about the fastest, air, breathing airplane in the world. You can read the full article here. Linda Sheffield.

@PeterSweden7 Good question. I think most bowed heads don’t have the courage to ask themselves this question while looking in the mirror…

@RadioGenoa The kid on the bike is smart. The fact that this was filmed (by another third bully?!), leads me to think most probably they want to steal his bike, once our guy lose his temper and leave the bike on the ground to fight back the first bully. Too bad we don’t know how it ends.

@jk_rowling Clint Eastwood has a great quote on this matter: "A good kick in the b*lls will solve your gender confusion." Amen to that.

We're releasing a preview of OpenAI o1—a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond.
These models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. openai.com/index/introduc…

The wait is over.
OpenAI just dropped o1, also known as Project Strawberry/Q*
This is new level of AI that can "think" and "reason" before responding to you.
10 wild demos:

@mileswri @thesigmamindset That is Tom Bilyeu, ond of fhe best speakers in the world. And quite a beautiful mind. When you’ll look beyond phisical, you’ll appreciate it too. Respect for your beauty, inner or outer.🙏🏻

It would be comical if it wouldn’t be so tragically sad… I do not envy Americans for what are they facing as voters, both alternatives are pretty twisted.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will allow him to go free after spending five years in a British prison.
He will receive credit the time served in the UK and be released.
He is expected to return to Australia.

@AlpacaAurelius The secret is in the olive oil and seafood. All centennial communities are heavy healthy olive oil consumers. I imean very heavy consumers. Check out data about The Cretan Diet - Cretans, like Sicilians and Sardinians, live the same lifestyle. And the climate helps as well.

Sardinia has one of the longest lived populations in the world.
They don't do keto, restrict calories, cold plunge or avoid meat.
They eat a little bit of everything, meat, cheeses, vegetables, pasta and pizza...and they live incredibly long.
They're surrounded by a great community, most of the men work as shepherds and farmers their entire lives, spend all day outside and buy everything locally.
This is the real playbook for longevity.
