And then there's DII COE, mandated for C2 et al systems by DISA - if you start reading the requirements, you'll come away with the impression that all new stuff WILL be W2K.
And at least according to several mid- to high-level AF/Army procurement types, the intent is to be fully W2K.
In fact, Linux and OpenSource don't seem to be on the DISA or DII COE radar - since there's no specific vendor, there's no way to "approve" them.
It seems to be quite expensive just to get into the game (see POSIX compliance testing), and few OpenSource types are likely to jump in. The defense establishment seems to be able (and willing) to waiver practically everything except the W2K requirement.......
There was actually a proposal (to one of the gov agencies) back in the late 70's to generate power via these tall structures. The proposal outlined the basic science involved, and pointed out that technology was available to build such a structure, at a cost not too different from nuclear plants being proposed at the time.
Not transparent, just by condensing water at the top. The resulting internal downdraft would drive turbines at the base.

...Defense Department that wants to pay for my fiends at NASA, ....
Fiends? I assume this is a typo....
Furthermore, since when was the first strike a part of the US military doctrine?
January 20, 2001?
Actually, one typo - "and to repel the unjust laws" should be "and to repeal the unjust laws". That's repeal, not repel
