The SR-71 Blackbird.
A spy plane that flew at approximately 70 to 85 thousand (21,000 to 25,000 meters) above Earth's sea level and cruised at speeds of 2,500 miles per hour ( 4,000 km per hour) is one man's most most amazing creation in its class for the purposes of intelligence gathering.
When the enemy fired missiles and other rockets at the Blackbird, the evasive maneuver was simply, acceleration and climbing.
Nothing could reach this machine that practically flew at the edge of Earth's atmosphere and beginning of solar system space.
Enemy aircraft would run out of fuel before they could even attempt to get close to the Blackbird.
Missiles would burn out of rocket fuel. On some instances, the SR-71 outsped missiles and bullets fired at it.
Architecture, engineering and operation of this machine is phenomenal. Even though we outlived its usefulness, it would be awesome to keep this aircraft functional for demonstration purposes.

Simon Roy (@simon-roy) asked me to invent a guy (alien organism) for his newest book, Refugium, which comes with a guy emporium (alien life guidebook). There’s a kind of radially symmetrical bug called pinwheels on the planet that will split into wedges as a defensive mechanism, so I Junji Ito'ed them into a eusocial spiral that workers snap off of once “ripe.”
Refugium is out on Kickstarter right now and if you like alien ecology, failed utopias, and frontier stories I can highly recommend it. I’ve greatly enjoyed the previous books from the same universe.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns
