DARPA Looking into Hypersonic Bombers

while(true) writes "As reported previously here on Slashdot, hypersonic jets from NASA has recently been in the news. Now DARPA is showing interest in the military applications and is to host a conference on hypersonic unmanned bombers. These bombers could be based in the US and yet strike from space at any place in the world within 2 hours. BBC has a report about these air/spacecraft that could be operational by 2025."

U.S. government has an endless amount of money for killing people and destroying property, but not very much for making good relationships.

Right! We should just BRIBE the entire world to do what we want them to.

The least sophisticated way of relating to other people is killing them.

Sometimes it's the easiest and most efficient, though. :)

We suck...

Hmmm...the US spends more on it's miitary than all other industrialized countries COMBINED...do we really need to be spreading even MORE fear with this crap?

Sheesh, when will we learn that we are the absolute worst at setting example. Don't even get me started on moral high ground. I'm sorry, but we suck. We want to rule the world via fear to breed consent, and we're doing a damn good job of it.

I'd hate us too...

I mean for Christ's sake, can we FIRST give health care to our children? Help our elderly pay for their medication? Fix our schools and pay our teachers a decent wage? Create jobs? etc... I read a story like this every day, and it makes me sick.

We could pay less to set better examples, but no, we want power, not an end to the reaons for hostility. Build better bombs, make them fear us, and we will rule the world! Mwuuuhaahaaahaaahaa...*hack* *cough!*...ahem...mwwuhaa haa...

What kind of IDIOT wants a world, albeit a possibly safer world, ruled by fear? If YOU do, then move to China. And you would have LOVED Iraq before we decimated it. Yes, you attempt to hinder acquisition of "interests" or even speak out against it, watch out baby...

Now, imagine it on a global scale...

Yikes.

Those camel-fuckers in Iraq are out there day and night making a sherade of what we worked so hard to establish on this earth... peace and liberty.

Preach it! Your buddies didn't die face down in the mud in Vietnam so some rich fuck could make snide comments about the US on some liberal discussion board.

That's the standard answer. "It's percentages."

So, please.. think about what that means. Matter of fact is that countries that are doing much worse than the US economically, are spending a much larger portion of their (smaller) fortune on foreign aid. The US is dead last any way you see it.

But by all means, preserve "your way of life". It's what you're good at.

BZZT! Wrong Answer

[Mooncaller]

You lose.

Your comment painfully illustrates your complete ignorance. Any REAL problems NASA has can be directly tied to knee jerk whiners like you.

I bet your a Democrate.

my god

[stinky wizzleteats]

Those crazy warmongering bastards. Has anything good ever come out of DARPA?
