Well, covering it all in shitty filters, fullscreen watermarks shitty techno music isn't exactly aesthetic.

>the b2707 was supposed to be superior to the Concorde in every way, but the government cut funding to it because of lockmart's lobbyists
No, it got funding cut because it was a clusterfuck of the highest magnitude.

Boeing beat out Lockheed's L-2000 proposal (itself looking mostly like a scaled up Concorde going Mach 3) with the 2707-100 (pic related). But the 2707-100 was retardedly complicated. You had a double-jointed drooping nose, swing wings with incredibly complcated high lift devices, engines mounted on a massive tail, and landing gear that dropped in front of the inboard intakes, requiring auxiliary intake ports for the inboard engines.

Fortunately for everyone, Boeing ended up dropping the 2707-100 when it became clear that aeroelastic effects on the fuselage made the design unworkable. They then shifted to a completely new design (2707-200, which would later carry on to the '90s-era HSCT). Lockheed's complaint here was valid - the originally contracted design was no longer in consideration, so it's unfair to let Boeing keep the contract without having to reevaluate to ensure that they still have the superior design.

And no, it wasn't Lockheed lobbying that killed the 2707. It was the fact that SSTs just weren't economically feasible at the time. Hell, Boeing even turned around and started lobbying to try to kill the Concorde once the US SST program came to an end, which is why we've got the FAA restriction on overland supersonic flight to this day.
