At the Prayer Breakfast, Grandpa Crazypants went into a long rant about air traffic control towers, and in doing so, he admitted that his plane uses a different air traffic control system from another country because it is better. And if Donald was hoping to give his co-president contracts from Starlink, he blew it because he said they should be land-based. Everything the Stable Genius noted isn’t new.
“We should have had the proper control. We should have had better equipment. We don’t. We have obsolete equipment,” he said. “They were understaffed, for whatever reason. I guess the helicopter was high, and we’ll find out exactly what happened. But the odds, even if you had nothing — if you had nobody, the odds of that happening are extremely small.”
Word salad.
“It’s like, did you ever see — you go to a driving range in golf, and you’re hitting balls, hundreds of balls, thousands of hours,” the noted astrophysicist continued. “I never see a ball hit another ball. Balls going up all over the place. You never see them hit.”
“And I think that’s going to be used for good,” Gramps continued. “I think what is going to happen is we’re all going to sit down and do a great computerized system for our control towers, brand-new — not pieced together, obsolete, like it is — land-based — trying to hook up a land-based system to a satellite system.”
