I am working late. Whilst waiting for stuff to finish, I've been looking at some of the ridiculous weapons
that are being launched over the next fifteen years or so. Giant, Hercules-mounted tank-busting laser cannons, railguns that fire projectiles fast enough to ignite the air around them, semi-autonomous battlefield robots that come equipped with mini-grenade launchers capable of firing 4000 rounds a minute and satellites that fire javelins of tungsten at you from orbit.

All real, all ready, or nearly ready, for deployment.

The next fifteen years is going to see an unprecedented number
of hippies/commies getting shafted by Good Ol' Uncle Sam.

Good, I hate hippies.

I hope the javelin flinging tungsten tossing satellite comes with a commentary from Sid Waddel.

Satellite 1 locates the target and sends data to satellite 2
which drops a rod. By the time it gets to Earth, it's travelling at 7000 miles an hour and hits with the force of a meteor. All the fun of a nuke without the awkward radioactive fallout.

They've decided to call it Rods of God. Which just sounds like a nob gag to me.

It'll be comforting to know that while we're dying of TB and starvation, the world is being kept safe with such wonderful gadgets.

I think it's rather comforting to know that the US is taking climate change seriously
and making weapons with no nasty side effects. No explosives, no propellant, no radiation. The hippies that'll be getting shot by them will be grateful, I don't doubt.
