Because even as light being very fast, at 30,000 feet in the air it takes the light longer to reach your eyes than it would if the jet was 30 feet away.

Why did they make the jet engine?

The Germans wanted air superiority or supremacy so they developed the jet airplane. When Allied Air Forces did encounter those few jets that flew in the sky against them they were startled. They did manage to shoot down some of the jets. The Germans surrendered before the jets could do more damage against the Allied Air Forces or ground forces. The three big allied powers scrambled to get their hands on the jets. They all learned how to build these jets.

Jets need air in order to work. Look at the jet engines on an airliner, and you'll notice that the front of the engine is wide open . . . to take in large gulps of air and mix it with the jet fuel. There's no air in space, so jets don't work there.

Why is the sky ugly?

The sky is the sky and on some days the sky is quite beautiful. If you do not like the sky, then why dont you look up why sky is blue. But the only reason why the ocean is blue is because the sky is blue, so quite frankly there is a problem. Instead of saying the sky is ugly the sky is most likely not the prettiest at times but you should not say the sky is ugly. I could imagine that would be annoying to look at and ugly sky all the time. But if you think the sky is ugly, thanks for bothering to observe it anyways
