Boeing Hydrogen Powered Drone First Flight

garymortimer writes with news of the test flight of a hydrogen powered UAV. From the article: "Phantom Eye's innovative and environmentally responsible liquid-hydrogen propulsion system will allow the aircraft to stay on station for up to four days while providing persistent monitoring over large areas at a ceiling of up to 65,000 feet, creating only water as a byproduct. The demonstrator, with its 150-foot wingspan, is capable of carrying a 450-pound payload."

What if it used a hydrogen bomb? Wouldn't that be more environmentally friendly?

If by 'watering' you mean 'bombing' and by 'crops' you mean 'insurgents' then officially 'no'.

Great!

Is the facility where these violations of our privacy are orchestrated going to be solar powered?

"Are they going to use them for watering the crops or something?"

Google "Chemtrails".

Pleasant dreams.

It's pronounced "Nuke-u-ler"; the "s" is silent.

I think Kevin Smith is still under 450 lbs, and he's created a few bombs.
