That's TDS thinly disguised as Libertarian.

Dumbest regulation ever. Living between Barksdale and FT Worth NAS we used to watch and hear Booms weekly, at least. Basically an I20 E/W path. Made us jump but so does thunder after a close strike. Thunder at close range is so much louder.

Are sonic booms really that big of an issue at high altitude? How high were the old concords breaking the sound barrier?

Booms carry more low frequency concentrated energy, which transfers through structures and ground.

Not an Obama guy, he was almost a complete disaster, but he accidentally got this right. NASA is a corrupt, incompetent money suck. It was Obama who first pivoted towards private space, when Bezos and at the time Musk, were on his side.

Unrelated to Concorde, a Blue Angel Pilot recounts the story when he momentarily pushed through the sound barrier during a practice and the damage that followed.

In fact, of all the things the federal government does, as outlined in the constitution, "protect rights" (secure the blessings of liberty) is the last one mentioned (but the first one outlined)).

Obama restructured it but did not cut the overall budget.
Trump repeatedly try to cut much of the NASA budget but was blocked by Congress

Absolutely... I can imagine a world with launch towers strategically placed around MAJOR population centers - outside NY City; or rural Virginia; Barstow, CA; Bahrain.
'Houston.... this is a kick-arse ride' - Armageddon
PS - Only downside... they have to stick the catch-landing 100%, or you blow up.. there is no in-between... lol.
