    I remember a few years ago some research (in the public domain) on articulated surfaces. Basically think of a bird and the way they manipulate their wings to do a 90 degree turn or dive bomb for pray. I guesstimate that we have some really high fliers at all times, probably even refueling stations floating up there powered by solar or aided by Helium.

    The last order by Obama to bomb Isis using stealth bombers was a pretty breath taking executed mission. Basically bombers flew 32 hours, bombed target, never landed for anything, fueling mid air (which is old news) a couple of times and came home.

    It's official. No mention of reduced drug pricing yet though.

    The Space Force is officially the sixth military branch. Here’s what that means.

    Air Force officials on Friday told reporters that people are clamoring for information on how to join the military’s latest branch. The short answer is, they’re going to have to wait a while.

    President Trump officially signed the Space Force into law Friday, but for now, all that means is everyone at Air Force Space Command will now be assigned to Space Force. Over the next 18 months, officials said, the finer details of manning and training the new branch will be hammered out and set in motion.

    From the aforementioned article :

    “It’s going to be really important that we get this right. A uniform, a patch, a song ― it gets to the culture of a service,” said Air Force Gen. Jay Raymond, the head of Air Force Space Command and U.S. Space Command, who will lead Space Force until a chief of space operations is confirmed by the Senate. “There’s a lot of work going on toward that end. It’s going to take a long time to get to that point, but that’s not something we’re going to roll out on day one.”

    Why the interest in reduced drug pricing? The patch, the uniform and the song for space force are what the people want.
    No doubt Melania will be designing the uniforms.

    vital
    /ˈvʌɪt(ə)l

    adjective
    1. 1.
      absolutely necessary; essential.
      "secrecy is of vital importance"


      Why does the fucking idiot continually use a child’s low vocabulary adverb ( very )in front of an encompassing appropriate adjective. For his low IQ mouth breathing base?
      Yeah I’m pedantic but he’s still a low IQ moron.
      Rupert Murdoch, Tillerson et al had him measured up right. He’s an idiot.

    With or without Trump, we need Space-Force.

    We do. It is what it is unfortunately. That is, until we can get the entire world to agree on peace... and good luck with that.

    Period. Case closed.

    The beat goes on.
