Holy Crap.

So Lenny, remember my supervillan-weapon idea the other evening? Apparently the US military complex has been making similarly ridiculous stuff. Now, i'm not talking about outside-the-box, off the wall stuff, which we've done with everything from Revolutionary War Submersibles for drilling holes in sailing ships, to Ironclads, all the way up to that crazy-ass heat ray the Army just patented, or that septybillion-rounds-per second, no moving parts gun.

This was a project codenamed Pluto, it's linked in the title.
And it's absolutely masturbatory.

    Two things that scared me... the air force advertising for men past child rearing age and a crashed bomber=unihabitable country side... but what makes my jaw drop looney tunes style is this fucking missle cruising at tree level and just "tossing out hydrogen bombs"... tossing hydrogens bombs?

    WTF is this shit...A nuclear egging?

    Cwruidth (10:43:41 PM): yeah, exactly
    Cwruidth (10:44:04 PM): like there's just some Brock Sampsonesque guy at a cargo bay door, hucking them out

    The part i found totally unacceptable was the dawning realization that this thing they're talking about was a nuclear payload delivery system built to fly at low altitudes in a fusion bloody ramjet; in fact, one running so hot that it needed a primary launch stage with booster rockets to get it the hell away from anyone we liked before they even turned it on.

    "Technically sweet." Right.

    This is to weapons what Dragonforce is to metal. In fact, all this thing was missing was an array of speakers on the bottom, blasting "Through the Fire and Flames" as it lobbed nuclear death across the land.

    ...at supersonic speeds.

    Ah yes, the Davy Crockett. Happily, the rumors that its firing range was shorter than it's payload's lethal radius were only rumors. The same cannot be said for the atomic hand-grenade.
