So you're saying the sky does suck after all?

What about rocket propulsion in a vacuum? How does that work?

I've repeatedly explained to these guys that camber was just a
conspiracy by the aluminum industry to sell more metal.

I don't know why Boeing, Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft and everybody else
don't listen to Mxmaniac. CAMBER IS A LIE!!!

No no, aluminium was a conspiracy by Westinghouse and Edison (and
proly Tesla too) to sell more electricity via the Bayer process! Or
was it the other way 'round? Westinghouse was a conspiracy by the
electricity conglomerates to produce more beer cans? Hmmm....let me
