New US strike capability - Falcon

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I don't think anyone denies that the military is working on top secret weapons, including aircraft.

Exactly, and there's no project that would consume 9 billion on its own. Random facts piled in a bucket don't make up evidence, unless one is a total ninny. Then, of course, anything is likely.

Well, yeah - and it all depends on the asserted conspiracy theory. If the question is: Does the US military create covert (black) development projects? Well, of course they do. They'd be stupid if they didn't.

And it wouldn't be any of our damn business if they did. I love folks who want to keep our enemies informed of every step we made. I wonder how well the First US Army Group would have fared in WWII if that had happened then.

Looking at the title of this thread, I thought they rediscovered the use of unions for defending workers' rights and conditions.

Ah, well, I suppose war is much more fascinating to our arm-chair generals.

An amazing new suborbital aircraft that skates along the top of the atmosphere and can reach any spot on the globe in under an hour -- vs --- unions going on strike to improve conditions.

Yeah - how could anyone not be more fascinated with the latter.

Why am I not surprised that you are more fascinated with killing machines than improved rights and conditions?

If we don't survive as a country what will the rights and conditions be like?

You just now someone, somewhere, has asked "Say, can we stick a nuke on this thing?"

Before now we had to risk a pilot on a dangerous mission. He could have gotten hurt!

Then the Chinese will hoover up the entire internet, find the launch codes and use the Falcon against Washington as revenge for not letting Chinese telecom companies get lucrative contracts in DC.

Can I have my book deal now?

Tom Clancy already did that one.

Dude, he nuked the Super Bowl. In Denver! Life don't get any better than that.

I'd happily nuke the Super Bowl myself.....

You and me both. But nuking the Broncos (Denver's team and arch rivals of LA) was the perfect storm.
