The Concorde was not successful. The 747 is.

Concord was successful, it met its design goals.

No, it didn't. It didn't have the range originally intended. I believe it
was supposed to super-cruise, too, and it didn't.

However it failed commercially as the goal was moved.

....and the SST was cancelled when the goal was moved. The Concorde was
continued for ego reasons.

We had several political changes and an oil crisis that made it too
expensive.

It was too expensive when it was DESIGNED.

Pretty much the same as the 747 should feel when the A380 takes all its
passengers.

In your dreams.

Which it won't as the USoA doesn't allow a level playing field and will
prevent it from getting landing slots when its a threat.

Lies.

You might have a military plane faster but you haven't got a passenger
airliner faster.

They have the space shuttle, the only thing faster than that was Apollo but
that's old technology borrowed from the Germans.

More bull****.
