Does Humanity Need DARPA's Travel Adapter for Human Body?
Lemme think for a sec ... nah, thanks.
I don’t know whether the appropriate reaction to this is laughing or crying. Read the original from DARPA, and please let me know how you feel about this wonder.
Here is how I feel. To be honest, it reminds me of the Brezhnev era Soviet Union—pretense and decay all around—and a typical “communist party” meeting where mouths would open, lips would move, lofty words would be said out loud with conviction—and absolutely none of it would be “real.” All performance.
Now, can they get billions of dollars for this in funding? Sure as hell they can. Printing money is easy!
But—the atrocity / absurdity of the notion aside—does it mean they’ll deliver anything useful? They will probably deliver something, and the disposable cannot meat “warfighters” will be the lab rats, as usual. Hey, someone has to “absorb” the price of deceit! That’s business as usual!
