Bet you five bucks that stupid thing doesn't fly.
TBH - that entire airframe makes no sense. Yes, I understand the physics behind it, but just look at it. It's ridiculous. It's Net Assessment, buckaroo. We've missed you.
Editors note: I got blown up for “toxic masculinity” after last issue’s sniper intro theme.

If you know us at Net Assessment, you know we love us some drone-tech. To say nothing of Drone Killing Dune Buggies.
Presented without comment.
A quick Buzzfeed-worthy rundown on the end of the world.
Hmmm…How to combat “aggressive foreign investors”? I know, massive layers of bureaucracy and generally non-sensical statutory requirements!
I have to assume these radio astronomers are picking up my neighbors kids when they are obviously being fed meth for breakfast.
At least something about 2021 is going to be awesome.
First light commercial SAR images include a Chinese temple, an Indian ceremonial boulevard, and a strategic Russian Nuke Sub base….wait, what?

Sigh. A whole new North Carolina vs. Ohio Wright Brothers debate. ON MARS.
Don’t mind us. Just bending the concept of space a time while you are all still working from home. NBD
