The purpose of battleships was to destroy enemy fleets before they should destroy shipping and to bombard coastal targets. Both offensive and defensive tasks are supplanted by aircraft and that has not changed at all, whether that aircraft is manned or not.

Right, but why wouldn't the drones and missiles simply fly around it to their intended target?
This is literally the reason we stopped building battleships almost a hundred years ago and drones don't make that less true today.
I don't think they are good so much as they are currently on and actively being advertised.
Most Meta glasses don't even HAVE a display. The camera is the only thing they do.
There are plenty of vehicles that have this feature without requiring an app to use it.
This is a problem even in places where teachers are adequately paid.
I mean. Sure, they were addled because the CIA was dumping LSD all over the country and it just totally coincidentally served the narrative that kept money going into the military industrial complex.
That aside it was a narrative that was pushed by the media into every home in the United States.
There is a reason that Tolkein did not publish the Silmarillion. It's not a book. It is his own musings on the origins and backstory of the universe he created. It was likely used simply as an exercise to develop his work with no intention of it ever actually being a published work in its own right.
The idea that the entire country was on the razors edge of a "race ware" in which the "coloreds" were going to topple American society was very much a product of the media in the 1960s designed specifically to terrify the white folks into opposing the civil rights movement and was the founding principal of Manson's entire plan.
That 18 billion in revenue already results in an operating loss of 4 billion a year. So its a little odd to hear you act like "only" losing another 13% is insignificant since it would increase their loss by about 30%.
Also, that is assuming that all launches cost the same, which is probably not the case at all. The NASA launches are likely considerably more costly than Starlink launches.
If you took the state funding out of Space X how much money do they make?
Probably a big flat platform, like something specifically made for launching aircraft because A) a shit ton of drones DO need runways and B) the ones that don't still generally launch from a flat platform which is why helli-carriers still look like aircraft carriers:

You are desperate to make this idiotic idea make sense and its pretty sad to watch. There is no use case for this platform which is why it is being recommended by idiots and named after a moron. This is the most obvious fraud in the history of the military industrial complex and it takes a real special kind of idiot to act like it isn't.
