While impressive, this is not as ground-breaking as the article suggests. Fire Scout is already deployed by the US Navy and is capable of fully autonomous landings to a moving ship at sea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxl-ko7Vd64
I wonder if someone could develop a global system of flying objects that could somehow measure the contours of the earth. Then, finally, we would be able to discover what actually lies in these vast 'unmapped' areas of 'nevada' and 'california'. Imagine the possibilities.
1. Move to Earth 2. 'Discover' Alien life. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!
