  1. Drones are Pandora's box. Machines coordinate faster, think faster, and can handle extreme acceleration better than any human. Once someone makes an autonomous fighter, humans just won't be able to compete, anymore. That won't be the case on the ground for a very, very long time, but things are more simple in the air. Musk is right and it doesn't matter how long an aircraft is supposed to serve; if manned fighters become obsolete tomorrow, nothing will change that. These fighters will only continue to serve because they're cheaper than making new ones. My one correction to Elon's last comment on Twitter is that the advantage of a machine is that it is faster, so a human controlling an aircraft slows that time. A human will control a Squadron, but not an individual fighter.

  2. It's a very cool aircraft. Probably the greatest most capable non-stealth bomber ever made. But I just don't get it. Like, anything that can kill the B-52 will kill the B-1B, so it does the same job for more money. Anything that the B-52 can't do will go to the B-2.
