no one can make those engines anymore. They have to study them like artifacts from ancient Greece

Those are two real contracts right after the 844 was pulled for inspection. The 844 was the last SR-71 and was flight capable until 2002 when it was put in storage, not because the airframe was bad but because of a fuel line. The second contract is with P&W for OEM engine work, they designed the engine.

It's probably exploratory but if NASA is looking to build a mach3 test aircraft why not check on the one you already own?

If we can reverse-engineer hot rod alien spacecraft, why not an SR-71?

Maybe the contract is for a time machine to go back and talk to the crews that mothballed the engines in 2002?
