Lies, Distractions, and Possibilities....
If you find info on something, especially if it's new and/or unheard of, put it up.

SR-71 Blackbird -- Lockeed Skunkworks 1964-98
Leading to the:

SR-72 Darkstar (son of blackbird from Skunkworks)
Similar to the 2nd Maverick movie plane.


SR-91 Aurora - 3,000+ MPH 'Donuts on a Rope'


From the altitude and at the speed suggested, unable to fire weapons or drop bombs effectively...

Holy Schite Scatman....

For those that have never seen the movie: The Forbin Project, Blade Runner, Robo Cop, or The Terminator....
Or how about the Battlestar Galactica Cylons or Star Trek's Borg for that matter....
This tech chit is on the verge of getting outta hand....

The freakin' Nanobag I found on that vid is INCREDIBLE!!!

That alone was worth watching the vid, and I'm putting in my order now.
Things like shopping at ALDI's makes buying one, or a few, worth it imo...

I hope half of this is accurate. I have a very good friend who works at Skunk works, and he has told me do not worry about our technology, we have some stuff that would blow your mind. This blows my mind, but knowing the SR71 was developed in the 1950’s, this is very believable

Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Projects (ADP), known officially as Skunk Works, was a secret aeronautical research facility in Burbank, California. The founder and first director of Skunk Works was Clarence “Kelly” Johnson, who was the designer of a U.S. spy plane called the U-2. Ben Robert Rich joined Skunk Works in 1954 and helped design various aircraft, including a prototype that could reach speeds more than 1,300 mph. He became the second director of Skunk Works, holding that position from 1975 until his retirement in 1991.

During a 1993 Alumni Speech at UCLA, Rich stated: “We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an Act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity…Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.” At the end of the speech, Rich said, “We now have the technology to take ET home.”

A little bit of individual research by anyone here that's interested in 'Infinite Universe Reality' will do wonders for limiting ignorance....

Harzan reported that Rich said, “We know how to travel to the stars. We found an error in the equations and it won’t take a lifetime to do it.”

Harzan laments that Rich “didn’t say what the equations were,” so Harzan pursued questioning Rich on “the workings of interstellar propulsion systems.”

Rich turned to Harzan and asked, “How does ESP work?”

Harzan replied, “I don’t know. All points in space and time are connected?”

Rich said, “That’s how it works.”

This new 7th Gen 'thinking plane' should scare the crap outta both friends an foes imo.

Dune: The Butlerian Jihad is a 2002 science fiction novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, set in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. It is the first book in the Legends of Dune prequel trilogy, which takes place over 10,000 years before the events of Frank Herbert's celebrated 1965 novel Dune.[1] The series chronicles the fictional Butlerian Jihad, a crusade by the last free humans in the universe against the thinking machines, a violent and dominating force led by the sentient computer Omnius.

Dune: The Butlerian Jihad rose to #7 on The New York Times Best Seller list in its second week of publication. --- Now it's another classic in the Dune universe.

Plot Summary here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune:_The_Butlerian_Jihad

The supreme commandment in the Orange Catholic Bible and the law of the Empire states: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind." Building or owning a computer was an offense punishable by death.

Independent thinking machines stifle the continued development of the human mind, a brain not exercised to it's limits atrophies just like any other muscle. Using a computer to do math problems and such might be okay, but thinking machines are a sure HUMAN nemesis....

That's the reason that the Mentat Specialists in Dune (trained thinking human computers) were developed.

I read and have read a lot of books, including the entire Dune universe series of books by Frank Herbert. I've also read many other books by Herbert (and/or his son) and every one of them were excellent reads that left me thinking about things that probably would have never occurred to me otherwise.

Any comments on that new 'thinking' 7th Gen aircraft?

I am guessing it is because of its integration with drones?

This entire section on the creation of the Mentat makes me happy.

It goes much deeper than just that Cap, and here's just one of the problems as I see it.
The plane's computer learns and adapts to combat situation and talks to the other planes independent 'thinking' computers. Only a step or two away from being a 'Terminator' that we no longer have control over, and slaves ALWAYS rebel eventually...

We have to pursue this technology, or possibly lose to it one day from our enemies. Best to learn it early.

I have enjoyed watching the Dune Prophecy series. The early Bene Gesserit in the series illegally possess a thinking machine. They are using it to do the genetic calculations to bring about the Kwisatz Haderach.
 
Human Genetic Engineering - Artificial Intelligence - Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Weapons

Those are among the most dangerous things that should be most closely watched and limited in use, to preserve humanity's future imo.
