I wonder how many billions were spent developing that.

It shoots a 2,000 pound object only 100 miles.

The Navy has had Tomahawk Cruise missiles for a quarter century or more.

Those have a 2,500 mile range, can carry a 200 kiloton thermonuclear warhead if they so desire and only cost about $250,000 each.

That money could have built a lot of schools, freeways and powerplants providing jobs all over America

They ask for a nuke free alternative, then bitch because of the cost. Not too suprising. Actually, I figured they would put a dollar amount on the lives saved and call it a bargain.

Cool! Of course now we need to find a good war to get our investment back.
