Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The U-2 Bomber episode was a little shilling, there wasn't even a myth. But what were they gonna do, not take a cool ass ride to the edge of space?

Sorry, I just have to:

You’re correct on the plane type in that it was a U-2. However, that’s a photo reconnaissance aircraft - it has no bombs or other weaponry. You’re probably thinking of the B-2, which is a stealth bomber.
