Are you referring to this?

sounds similar, but the way my grandpa was explaining it one time, it wasn't an air to air missile. he was talking about hitting ground targets. or at least hitting ground targets during testing. also 46/47 is to soon, i believe he would have been working on this sometime in the 50's (early/mid most likely)

i found some pencils in my closet.

I had a small collection of cool '90s pencils from childhood boxed away in the attic at my grandma's house. One I really liked that changed colors with the temperature. My little nephew and his friends went through my stuff and raided them. When I discovered it, it was too late to say anything to him, my niece or any of their friends about it. I just got pissed and threw the rest away. I just let them think they got away with it.

Which upon reflection makes me wonder how much shit my parents probably knew me and my brothers were doing but stayed quiet and let us think we were getting away with, until we really fucked up.

A body of mine works designs military weapons, like missiles and other bombs. There are a lot of variations in the works and other variations that they don't introduce to the public. Much of it is stealth stuff. Which would make sense. They have a stealth plane, sub, and ship, why not a missile. They could launch a missile, and nobody will see it coming.

Dam st_dragn_wagen you really have me wondering what missile your grandpa worked on. Was it the AGM-12 Bullpup

that sounds closer to the stories iv heard. but the one, or at least the technology he was working on for it, never made it into production.

I was about to post this on BLM, but... well... I'm sure someone would take it politically. However, Japan admitted that this is one of the reasons they didn't invade the US.

As a hispanic with now over 22 guns and proud to be called a redneck I approve that message. “There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

nothing political about that, it's just stand up comedy. if it was taken politically its making fun of people who lean right so it would skate just fine.
