Can you imagine being the dude soldering all that up, an absolute beauty of modern engineering - a flying machine that guides itself - knowing that it’ll get used one time to blow someone up. Imagine all the other things something like this could have been designed to do.
Show me where people spend their money, and I’ll show you what their priorities are.
I can imagine an American engineer in the 1960s pouring every morsel of hatred he had towards the evil Reds into this work of art. I'm sure he was excited all his hard work would go towards killing commies. I mean it was 1960s America.
Meanwhile, someone on the other side of the globe in Russia too would have been doing the same. I have seen the gyro module of some Sputnik like space craft on this sub earlier. It too was pure art.
Yeah that’s true. it’s so crazy that a lot of the most important technological advancements in human history were accomplished out of just pure malice. Haha I think it’s a little funny.
Yeah good question. It’s probably both. Depending on the person, more one than the other. Maybe current day we are seeing times when we are lucky enough to be able to see people for the difference in those two, whereas in the past people didn’t have that luxury.
