Thus was born the X-15 Cruise Basselope.

But the basselope is an aerodynamically unstable weapons-delivery platform, general! And it’s SLOW! —Not even high subsonic!

Sadly, even after “Project Basselope” failed miserable, Senator Bedfellow continued to lobby Congress to spend $180T on it.

Dr. Strangelove did it better.

Now all those old Russian Basselope deployment systems are being sold on the black market to fundamentalist extremists. They could be in the hands of rogue nations!

the difference between the two is that the Russian Basselope prefers borscht flavored pop tarts and milk bones

@nighthawks. Borscht is why Russians have the heart of depressed poets.

Wait, our Basselope was the last left with no females available. Now if theirs is a female, then we could detante and the species survive!!

Really tasty beet soup with cream.

Is that the same as the stealth catapult..

…and i’ve never seen it served cold…perhaps Ukrainian borsch is different from the Russian version???
