The Man of Steal never stopped running. With his 1,335th career theft #OTD in 2000, Rickey Henderson became the second player ever to swipe a base in four different decades. https://t.co/VYqanLMI3X
@ScarbsTech And why not? This car looks good. If there is an emergency exit problem, no doubt motorsports best minds can find a solution. But for now, Indy/F1 cars should sound like unholy demons not soft-spoken gentlemen. Pleeeeeeeeeeez bring back the noise?
The SR-71 Blackbird converts supersonic air to subsonic speeds using a movable, conical "spike" in the engine inlet that generates a series of shock waves, slowing air from over Mach 3 to roughly Mach 0.4 before it reaches the compressor. This process, crucial for the J58 engine, transforms high-speed, low-pressure air into high-pressure air at a manageable speed, generating a majority of the total thrust.
Mechanism for Slowing Air
•Inlet Spike Position: The sharp, cone-shaped spike moves up to 26 inches backward as the aircraft accelerates, optimizing shock wave alignment.
•Oblique Shock Waves: At supersonic speeds, the spike produces a series of angled oblique shock waves that slow and compress the air.
•Normal Shock Wave: A terminal shock wave forms at the inlet mouth, effectively slowing the air to subsonic velocity.
•Variable Geometry: The inlet computer automatically manages the spike position and bypass doors to prevent "inlet unstart"—an immediate loss of thrust caused by shock wave misalignment. 
Benefits and Components
•Pressure Conversion: The inlet acts like a "garden hose in reverse," where the reduction in speed is converted into massive pressure increase.
•Subsonic Compression: The engine itself is a turbojet, which can only function on subsonic air.
•Bypass Air: Excess air is bled off and reintroduced at the exhaust, adding more efficiency and thrust.

2026 Indy 500 - Pato's Last Lap
Pato O'Ward has one of the best viewpoints of the historic 500 finish between FRO and Malukas
He also nearly crashed at the exit of T2 AND the exit of T4 before finishing 3-wide with Armstrong and McLaughlin

After an initial attempt in 1985, Willy T. Ribbs became the first African-American to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 in 1991 and qualified again for the #Indy500 in 1993. 🏎 #BlackHistoryMonth
ON THE MOVE: This transportable microreactor developed by @WECNuclear is being designed to generate 5 MWe and operate for up to 8 years or longer without refueling.
Westinghouse is one of two companies selected to test in DOME — the world’s first microreactor test bed at @INL.
beyond well deserved. Donna Summer is the blueprint, the prototype, the sketchbook that all the Pop music we love today draws on. the branches on her musical tree are endless.
