it was a plane designed to give the US 7 days. 7 days of delaying the soviet armored push into the fulda gap. they werent expected to stop it, just give time for NATO to do something.

thats a maximum sentence, courts will likely give them much much less. you can murder someone and get out in a couple years in canada. do it with a car and you probably wont even go to prison.

yea, new engine designs wont get past the fact we havent come up with an energy positive way to generate hydrogen. or past the basic physical properties of hydrogen.

you can synthesize methane, aka natural gas, make it from atmospheric carbon and hydrogen, but that would be incredibly energy intensive and only viable if we crack efficient fusion electricity.

hydrogen also leaks out or most seals and will even infiltrate metals and make them brittle, hydrogen isnt the new new miracle fuel.
