I'm willing to look really stupid... Why don't they install explosive-powered
ejection seats on the shuttle.  I don't know enough about the technology,
but there has to be some way for the pilot to get out of a SR-71 that
should be close to useful, and require little effort on the part of the
human.  What's the story ?
