Clark Lindsey responds to a clueless editorialop-ed over at Aero-News. I should note that this is why we have blogs.

Wow. I went back and read that piece, and it was so chock full of stupid I couldn’t even get through the whole thing. Plus, the guy needed an editor. Kudos to Clark.

I love this typo: “Along the way other companies that have a spaceflight heritage, such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin and especially ATK are vilified as being the spawn of satin.”
And their children will be velvet.
I should note that this is why we have blogs.
Unfortunately the culture of trackbacks has largely faded, so most aero-news readers wont know about Clark responding.
Actually, the comment is there now.
Satin? Could it be … SATAN?!?

I can’t speak for the other aerospace companies, but I’d say Lockheed Martin is more of a silk damask.
