      Well. At least it will guarantee the USA’s eventual fall from power.

      Can you imagine the tech bros and anti-intectuals groveling to rejoin the scientific community?

      Unfortunately science is not a morality structure.

          Trump and other dictators are vain (uh, reviving an outdated class of naval ship and naming it after yourself sound familiar?) so they’ll prefer bombers, tanks, and rockets over some little robots with little propellers. They disdain things that look weak regardless of their usefulness.

            Well, current electric helicopters don’t have a long range. But that’s a 2026 problem, when battery tech improves they can be made just as good. Actually, better, since electric helicopters are quieter
