My name is Van Daryl. I’d like to ask you a question: Where would we be if the Concorde was never grounded?

​

Let me tell you: Anywhere in the world in half the time.

​

But no…the politicians, the fearful, and the unimaginative told us to slow down because it was the “right” thing to do. It was the “moral” thing to do. So we clipped our own wings. The politicians got their votes and the fearful got what they wanted: a world without change.
