#1 I hope they get right - iff our future OWG-NWO + USDOD desire both "defensive" + "offensive" Global Strike, Spacestrike, Global + Space Recce/SSIGINT, etc., THE NT DIRIGIBLE WILL FILL VARIOUS VITAL HAL NODES UNTIL MOON BASES + DEEP SPACE STATIONS, ETC. BECOM ROUTINE.

The word for that in our language is 'aircraft carrier'.
