It was a spy plane...no asking needed, if you could fly over the USSR and bring that intel back in some hours your sold.

But yeah i miss Skunkwork too especially the A12/SR-71:

Spy technology with military applications still has extremely lavish funding.

It would be great if it was documented on how to get access to that funding or even the problems to be addressed in that space for a potential startup.

Have at it:

And one more that addresses broad research funding priorities rather than specific opportunities. Get used reading these sorts of dry documents if you get involved in this space:
