We're doing a fireside chat w/ Boom Supersonic (@boomaero) founder/CEO @bscholl. We'll share the video after.

Building a supersonic plane and a cryptocurrency have parallels: hard tech, long ship cycles, high cost of failure, etc.

What should I ask Blake?
Some that people have sent me:
- how do you break down a 10 year hardware project like this in to smaller chunks? is there some parallel to shipping software?
- how do you test a supersonic plane without crashing it?
- why did you move to Colorado and out of Silicon Valley?
Another one from a friend: How do you think about the line between what can be imagined vs imagined & realized? What were the earliest examples of, if x y and z are true, this idea is way more likely to work?
Another one: what has @boomaero shipped/done that differentiates them from the legion of other companies not named Boeing or Airbus that tried and failed to ship a radical new commercial plane? Is there some great filter they’re already passed that we should be excited about?
