 The best part of the show is the Latin motto on the development group's shield... "Velocitas Eradico". Been a long time since Latin IV but it looks like a bad syntax take off on "Speed Kills", changing it to "Speed Obliterates".Of course with the first person ending it really seems to say "I obliterate speed". |

| #5 Looks like Fox videos won't play on a linux platform. Need to go down to the basement for a window laptop.. That not helping those of us that use alternate platforms to reduce the risk of virus and infection. |

| #4 The interesting thing about rail guns is they are using the same technology to launch planes. Which blurs the distinction between a weapon and a projectile. Large railguns on land could potentially fire projectiles intercontinental distances. Although I understand there are some serious stability issues with projectiles much above mach 10. |
