The SR-71 was a bad ass already. This one will have a speed up to Mach 6. That's really fast, and will be much more than reconnaissance. However, it is many years from now, before its first flight.

I, for one, will probably be long gone before it flies!

Me too, but I have seen a couple of retired SR71s, and that was a remarkable aircraft. It's appropriate that the "Skunk Works" is developing its successor.
