One day, you might just moncler usa be pulled out from under the rubble of an earthquake, the carnage of a car wreck, or moncler outlet prices saved from an assault, drowning, or hostage situation by moncler online store a robot/drone. So please, stop w/the all too common, fictional, fearmongering references (. muh SkyNet It neither original, nor true.
And even if we had armies of robots, it would mean two things; one, that less people would die in war, and two, that you cheapmoncler.com https://www.cheapmoncler.com cheap moncler lucky as hell to have them on your side. It obviously a joke.

Guys. Even if NASA has more money than SpaceX, it still doesn mean that NASA is doing something wrong, NASA has shifted its focus more on R take the Hubble telescope for example. Maybe its the way it should be anyways. Private companies which wish to profit from space exploration should do so, and compete with each other (asteroid farming, fun rides to mars etc) and let the government sectors to the research to help further private companies technology and understanding of spacetime. Government and private sectors should work in symbiosis, instead of trying to compete with each other, let the private companies fight with each other to help the industry (think about how much apple vs samsung rivalry has furthered phone tech etc.) 19 points submitted 1 month ago
NASA biggest issue really has nothing to do with NASA as an organizations either. Instead, its the congressional appropriations process through which NASA programs are decided and funded through. Little known fact, NASA has very little control over cheap moncler jackets what programs they are able to do. Here a post a made a few weeks ago in response to a similar comparison to SpaceX and NASA.
I moncler womens jackets think moncler outlet online the better analogy is that NASA doesn make any of its program decisions, congress does. NASA simply executes the budget and figures out the “how” of the equation. Congress best moncler jackets alots money to programs, allowing them to kill programs (like WFIRST right now). NASA can even propose potential cheap moncler sale new budget items the cheap moncler coats mens same way as the DoD, so their hands are effectively tied when it comes to new programs and existing ones. NASA cheap moncler jackets mens doesn decide what it does, and sometimes not even how its done.
For SpaceX, company leadership can decide on the future of their company while also executing it. If the Falcon moncler sale online Heavy is taking a long time to develop and is a meme in the space community because of it, they don need to answer to anyone and can push forward regardless of popularity and get the job done. They moncler outlet woodbury don have long term internal projects being cancelled due to a new president being elected or a political move in a broader debate. This is one of the biggest uk moncler outlet advantages that companies, especially private ones, have in comparison to the government. That applies to most other parts of government as well, not just NASA. 107 points submitted 1 month ago
They been saying this for years, yet their actions have never met their moncler outlet sale words. While the price of oil, the basis of much of the Russian economy, has taken a toll across the board in Russian gov. spending, they never really committed to this in the first place. They talked about a follow uk moncler sale on to the space station for years, even discount moncler jackets build modules for it that have become part of the ISS, but its become clear how unlikely it is to happen. 2 points submitted 1 month ago
Something as advanced as what appears to be in these videos would almost certainly not dispersed to the general public despite being decades old. Hypersonics are currently a hot ticket item for the DoD, moncler outlet and advancements in technology cheap moncler jackets womens like this have been on its radar for quite some time.
Also, there is the question of why the military has released two of these videos in quick succession. There is clearly a reason for doing so on there part, as they could easily not have released it at all.

And hyper sonic flight is nothing new, people could conceive of Concorde (and much faster) in the 1950 well over half a century ago.
That not necessarily what I mean. The US (publicly) has a strong deficiency in hypersonic weapons. One of the biggest threats to the Navy, moncler outlet store for instance, are hypersonic cruise missiles from Russia and China. Why else would they release video of what might constitute a security threat and result in congressional investigation? Politically and PR wise, it would seem like a very moncler sale outlet backwards move to release footage like this unless you felt there would be no negative repercussions. Far less interesting things get denied public access, just look at the deployment videos from Navy squadrons that have their glass cockpit blurred out for OpSec reasons.
Bottom line, I feel this was very likely a calculated decision by the DoD, along with the UFO investigation news stories that came out late last year. UFO have been used as scapegoats for black projects in the past, no doubt it would be done again.

Submission Statement: Contrary to a previous post, Reuters is now reporting that Japan is now moving to base its indigenous fighter off of a foreign design. Given that Lockheed Martin is currently in close cooperation with this program, it would seem almost certain that an F 3 derivative is in the realm of potential.
Going forward, what might this program look like? What other designs exist for them to base their work off of? What changes might be made to the F 35 to accommodate moncler sale Japanese desires? The F 2, a derivative of the F 16, had a greatly increased range. This appears to be a very interesting moncler uk outlet (while not unexpected) development for this program. 9 points submitted 1 month ago
Bell, formerly Bell Helicopter, is one of the traditional aerospace companies investing heavily in this. So much so that they changed their name and were displaying one of their prototype air taxis at CES. They the ones who built the Huey, for some perspective. They owned by Textron, which you could probably invest in.
Airbus is also investing heavily in similar tech, and of course Boeing certainly will be as well. They actually just bought Aurora Flight Sciences, who are one of the leaders in big drone tech for non military purposes.
