Interviewer: "What is a sonic boom?"

Experts: begin to explain

Narrator: Talks over the entire beginning of their explanation

🤦‍♂️

Why would you ask what creates a sonic boom, then narrate over his answer?

I remember hearing lots of sonic booms when I was in elementary school in what was then a rural part of Santa Clara County; fast planes were using Moffett Field as their hangar and we (as a nation) were about to send men into space.

The way they both tilted their heads when the first question was asked proves these guys are on the same page.

There are hypersonic missiles flying over the mainland at night. Makes a low frequency grumble from the boom spread.

Awesome to see STEM stories in popular culture for our younger generations to see, hear, absorb and learn about.
Because if they don't get into this stuff then it really doesn't matter because none of us our going to last forever.
It's up to our children at some point.
I didn't realize that the amount of physical damage that a sonic boom can cause, that's really interesting.

"the first boom was made by Chuck Yeager's X-1..."

Nope. try rifle bullets, the tip of bullwhips, bursting latex balloons, and German V-1 rockets on re-entry.
indeed. the X-1's fuselage was designed to resemble a rifle bullet (the Area Rule had not been discovered yet)

It was years after the proposed ban when it finally went into effect. The sonic boom happened often in the Bay area.

I’m 68 - when I was 7/8 yrs old we heard those sonic booms ALL THE TIME - used to scare the heck out of us …. After a while we got used to it ..
Never understood it tho……

I hear them occasionally here in southern NM. With NASA, White Sands Missile Range, and Holloman AFB nearby, only they know what's going on.

We used to hear those quite a bit over the Visalia, California area in the 70's. I loved them and I wish there was someplace where I could take my 17 year old son to experience them.
