$14 million to find a solution, not to actually put that solution in place. A delay of two years in the $2.7B project will cost at least an order of magnitude more than $14M.
- dm2 13y agoEven if it costs hundreds of millions of dollars, big woop. How much have we spent on F-35 research, trillions? And those things don't even work in space.

- dm2 13y agoNot really practical for an aircraft to operate underwater, but someday operating in space might not be inconceivable. My point was that for trillions of dollars, the aircraft better do some cool shit. Yes, crash avoidance is awesome, but not trillions awesome. The sea is arguably more valuable than space in terms of military value, an underwater vehicle is practically invisible and can deliver massive amounts of firepower to any region in the world. Not to mention the secret mission capabilities of submarines such as tapping undersea fiber and special forces delivery.
