Japan Solicits NASA's Help on Supersonic Jet

An anonymous reader writes "Since the Concorde supersonic jet is now retired, Japan is looking for the next generation supersonic flight solution. Japan's space agency is planning talks with NASA next month. They are looking for a partner since they have experienced a 'string of glitches, including a nose cone problem during the latest test flight in March.'"

Does nobody get the reference to Jack Nickelson vs. Tom Cruise in "A few Good Men"?? 1992 was not that long ago, or am I getting old? Kids today, no respect for their elders...
