So, similar to corporations employing elaborate financial shell games to escape taxes and regulations, our own government is dodging our own laws for dubious ends? What quarterly numbers are they trying to pretty up for their equity holders?

It's spelled as one word, but properly pronounced as two. "suck your"

As long as you keep watching the less-developed minds for signs of the lights coming on later than average. Not all people develop according to schedule, and some late bloomers come on strong.

I know somone's going to say something about so few people accomplishing anything monumental after age 25 that you don't need to bother, but one should notice how few people accomplish anything at all BEFORE they turn 25.

Ground-based laser sources, agile mirrors on drones for directing fire?

But it's not a mature product. It's a lazy adolescent product only updated by fanbois and axe-grinders (to too large an extent).

He is playing to an audience afraid to laugh.

Thing is that a failure at Rocket Science tends to make rather a loud noise, a big mess and severe-to-fatal injuries.
Quantum Science failures don't make good television.

If you try to claim they're not American, some of them get a bit snippy about the name of the continent we share.

And they have your address and know how long you'll be gone.

They've already been proven to be a significantly criminal organization.

Why not both?
Don't cabals typically react with all the violence they can feel they can get away with?

Tragedy is when I get a hangnail.
Comedy is when you piss on a manhole cover, get electrocuted, and it burns your schmecky off.

/ I think that was Mel Brooks I just parodied

I recall news stories from over a decade ago lamenting the fact that ConEd manhole covers were being used to charge dogs. Inadvertently, and sadly fatally, but this technology has been around for a while.

I'm old enough to remember when a 'pretty good' 5-day weather forecast was a big deal. Now we have 'pretty good' 10-day forecasts. 'Pretty good' 10-week, -month and -year forecasts are on the way. All of which will good enough for something new.

We're still refining models of planetary motion.
And plate tectonics.

The models are never 'done,' but we can use what we think we know to get stuff done.
