What IS that thing Boeing wants to build?

Stargate

Whoa. I had thought the plant we were trying to bring to South Carolina (a prospect which is looking better, given Boeing’s union troubles elsewhere) was for building airplanes.

But you know what this photo looks like to me? Yep, the Stargate, from the movie of that name starring Kurt Russell.

Now, that would certainly give South Carolina a leg up into high-tech manufacturing…

And yes, I realize it’s a cross-section of the fuselage of the 787. I’m just talking about what it looks like…

    I’ve been to the Boeing plant in Washington (was in Olympia?–I think–it’s been a few years ago). It is awesome. There’s a bridge over the Interstate just for moving airliners out of the hangar.
