“The Republicans will fix it this time” “The Democrats will fix it this time”




Multiple witnesses at Ben Rich's 1993 UCLA alumni speech say the former Skunk Works director told engineers they already had the technology to reach the stars. Jan Harzan — Boeing Senior Project Executive, MUFON director — was in the room. Jim Goodall — aerospace journalist and Rich's friend — says Rich told him similar things by phone days before he died in January 1995. No recording exists. The exact wording is disputed. But nobody disputes that Rich said something along these lines to a room full of engineers at UCLA. The former head of Skunk Works. Speaking to engineers. About interstellar travel. Even the skeptical version of this story is wild.
