Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a FULL, in-depth forum post.
- **Constraints:**
- 1 to 3 paragraphs exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought. Never less than 4, never more than 8.
- Write the ENTIRE story — include every detail, fact, insight. No summarizing/cutting short.
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style — like telling friends about something mind-blowing.
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how.
- Include specs, prices, dates, names.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided (none provided beyond the original).
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- No headline/markdown headers.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Original Article:** FAA proposal to allow supersonic airliners over US cities if quiet. Key details:
- FAA proposed rule on June 30, 2026 to overturn 1973 ban on overland supersonic flights.
- Based on Trump admin's June 6, 2025 executive order.
- New standard: 0.11 psf overpressure at surface.
- Based on Boom Supersonic's XB-1 quiet Mach cutoff flights (shockwaves refracted upward).
- Concorde: 1.94 psf at Mach 2, 52,000 ft.
- NASA says 1.5-2 psf might cause public reaction but no structural damage. Humans experienced 20-144 psf below 100 ft without injury.
- Criticism: Dan Rutherford (ICCT) says metric was discarded by UN experts in 2014 because it doesn't measure loudness/annoyance. Surprised FAA proposed such a weak rule.
- Congress: Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act passed House March 24, 2026, awaiting Senate vote. Requires no sonic boom reaches ground.
- NASA X-59 Quesst (Lockheed Martin): needle-nosed, aims for 75 PldB sonic thump (car door slamming 20 ft away). Future tests over US cities for community feedback.
- FAA to finalize by mid-2027, another rule for takeoff/landing noise later this year.
- Concorde history: NYC-London 7hrs -> <3hrs, but huge fuel costs, $2.8B shared development cost, unprofitable.
- Boom Overture: first delivery 2029, agreements with American, Japan Airlines, United. Pivoted to natural gas turbines for AI data centers to fund Overture. CEO Blake Scholl.
- United CEO Scott Kirby: gives Boom 50/50 chance.
- Author: Jeremy Hsu.
2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1-3 paragraphs: I'll aim for 2 or 3.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences. Strict.
- Include EVERY detail: I need to pack a lot into 3 paragraphs while keeping each between 4-8 sentences. I'll need to be concise but comprehensive, weaving in all the facts.
- Tone: Excited, casual, forum-style, personal commentary.
- No headline.
- End with Source line.
Let's draft carefully, counting sentences per paragraph.
*Paragraph 1: The FAA proposal, history, the new rule, XB-1, Concorde comparison, NASA thresholds, criticism, Congress bill.*
I need to fit: FAA June 30, 2026 proposal to lift 1973 ban (following Trump's June 6, 2025 EO). New standard: 0.11 psf overpressure. Based on Boom's XB-1 quiet Mach cutoff flights (shockwaves refracted upward). Concorde was 1.94 psf at Mach 2/52k ft. NASA says 1.5-2 psf might annoy public but won't damage buildings, humans survived 20-144 psf under 100 ft. Dan Rutherford (ICCT) criticized it, saying UN experts ditched this metric in 2014 because
