alright this is weird.
Flashback to a Dairy-Queen in 1996 Stratford Texas.
6 year old me is obsessed with space, NASA, and astronauts.
My family and I are eating and there is an older couple behind us who were passing through, they happened to overhear me talking about something space related.
long story short, their son is a scientist at NASA and helped develop/test a craft that looked almost identical to this, this is in the 90s though so the timeframe of the development of the x-59 doesn't add up.
They must have really liked my enthusiasm or something because they got our address from my parents. Their son mailed me lots of pictures of said similar plane and others, along with a letter. I will go to my mothers house and see if I can find the manila envelope and I'll share my results here.
