We are now designing high-energy airborne lasers small enough to put into fighter aircraft. The device would be the size of a large refrigerator laid on its side. This will help us when we go to war with China, because they have 8000 plus fighter aircraft and we have maybe 500 or less. So in other words we will not have enough missiles to shoot them all down. So having on board lasers is a good idea. But if we are using chemical lasers we will need places to store compressed gases that will be used for the lasers, such as Argon or CO2. Yet in most fighters we have limited space for such storage and if we use drop tanks that will take away our ability to maintain stealth in the battlespace, so we need to think about putting these tanks inside the wings of the aircraft.

As long as we have chemical lasers onboard we might also think about using the chemical gas lasers to create mini-tornadoes or eddies above the wings to increase lift. If we store the gas in the outer wings of the aircraft they will stay cool due to the ambient air at altitude. Storing the gas in the fuselage may be problematic due to the heat of the engines, as the gases are volatile and we do not wish to use aircraft or UAVs to accidents unnecessarily. We also need to consider complete expenditure of these gases while airborne because one rough landing aboard

This is my new favorite quote. Now to understand it you must know what “go to the hole” means. Go to the hole is a basketball term for going forcefully to the basket to score a goal. It in essence means “Take it to ‘em!”

Vince Carter in considered by many to be the next Michael Jordan. He plays for the Toronto Raptors and is a staple of the evening highlight shows.

A few weeks back his mother was being interviewed on national TV and the interviewer asked her what advice she gave her son.

She replied, “All I tell Vincent (leave it to your mother to call you by your full name on national TV) is to trust the Lord and go to the hole!”

So I got to thinking about that, and it makes so much sense. The confusion for so many people is what responsibility to put in God’s hands and what responsibility to take ourselves.

Some people take everything upon themselves when instead they should be trusting that God is in control and there is no way you can control those things anyway. Those things are better left up to the All-knowing.

I will give you an example from my own life. I speak on a regular basis. I probably give 75 speeches a year. Now, not everybody is going to like what I have to say. I leave those people up to God, because I cannot control people’s reactions to me. But I still go to the hole every time I
