darthsidYeah maybe if the wars in the world subside.
If anything, wars are an amazing source of technological advancement.
This is not to say that I want war, but to acknowledge the fact that it absolutely fuel innovation

Could be, but usually aren’t.
…they think they’ll be flying them in a mere 4 years despite battery tech being a fair way off? Huh?

this is just bored rich people building stuff they think is cool, most of which is a dead end
