         | overlay. More like the Microsoft headset.

       | I've been watching the F 35 at the Baltimore Flyover this
       | weekend. What an incredible machine. The agility and speed range
       | that it can travel in the air is astounding.
       | 
       | Lucky pilots that get to fly this tech and dawn that helmet.

         | Same lol.
         | 
         | Seeing this thing show off its tech in the flesh was
         | incredible.
         | 
         | The ability for it too scrub off speed from full tilt at 2000
         | mph is just beyond imaginable.
         | 
         | If something is chasing you at full speed, and you can just hit
         | the brakes mid air; suddenly the hunter becomes the prey lol

       | Sure, but do we really need pilots anymore?

       | Anything truly valuable is of course classified. This is to
       | reveal no new information while showing something to the taxpayer
       | about what billions are spent on. It's a delicate and awkward
       | dance.

       | Also unmatched in cost and rarity. It has been proven many time
       | that quantity is a quality difficult to beat. The US military has
       | been gearing and shifting toward expensive and hard to mass
       | produce war machines. We will see how well a million dollar tank
       | fare against 100k dollars worth of drones. Or what happen when a
       | 10K rocket need a CWIS to take down that cost 50K to shoot.
