Honestly, after watching Dark Doc's on YT I have to say that the military is totally open to the most craziest ideas as long as it has the potential to raise their game.
Whilst the nature of the engineering is pretty awful and causes unwarranted pain it does make you think about the level of creativity to cause as much damage as possible.
- sslayer 6y agoIt's less "engineering is pretty awful" and more "What risk are we willing to accept vs tactical/strategical gain"
- melomal 6y agoIt really is. The level of confidence from test pilots to initial designers to firstly propose ideas and then have someone sit inside and try it out is pretty interesting too.
- munificent 6y agoI think the real take-away is that the boundary for "good idea" is determined almost entirely by funding. The military has such a firehose of cash that they can throw money at almost anything and see what sticks. If we spent $718.69 billion on art funding every year, you'd probably see artists making skyscrapers out of butter or genetically cross-breeding birds and mammals for creative speciation.
- melomal 6y ago:) art students could consider this route post studies, military creativity courses with essentially unlimited funding. It really is astounding to see how many millions/billions then and now can go into failed projects.
