There's some great new tech militaria with a search for "skunk works" on YT



Look at this wacky dingle~

A part of me thinks that this is a beautiful piece of engineering, but another part of me feels sad that it'll only be used to drop bombs on people.

It is actually a spy plane, even so, any R&D you can point towards developing a hydrogen economy (provided we find good ways to produce hydrogen), the better!



One of the killer apps of the particular flavor of nuclear I am interested in deals with high heat electrolysis which could help in the transition to a hydrogen economy. Technologies that aid in hydrogen production will also most likely be suited for desalinization of water, which could be of great need if warming of the earth changes regional rain patters.

Spy planes are used to spot places to drop bombs on them as well, it's a first strike weapon, like a "Missile Defense Shield."

Don't drone me bro!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Looks like an extruded 3D Studio Max model. I'd like to see the ground-based remote cockpit.

Imagine if we could increase the profit from the military industrial complex without ever having to end the war because of too many people dying.

In WWII we had to kill other first world nations, and it disrupted the economy in unsustainable ways... then we figured out we could just kill people in far away third world places, but now the bleeding heart liberal media keep making people feel guilty.

Creating corporate products with the sole purpose of finding and blowing up corporate products - justifying making more corporate products...

Drone v. Drone war : It's the perfect model!!
