#2 That is one wicked looking monster of an airplane. The force and moment changes on the wing when the payload drops off will be... large. They'll be sweating bullets on the first real test.

#3 As said before, "GREEN TECHS" is notsomuch about GWCC but more about PREPPING WORLD GOVTS-SOCIETIES TO SCIMP IN SUPPORT OF [OWG-LED = US?] DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION + ULTIMATELY COLONIZATION.

Among other, OWG-NWO = synonyous wid SPACE GOVT-ORDER.

Just as one's Parents had to stop or cut back on certain things to meet bi-weekly or monthly, etc. Personal + Household Budgets, DITTO NOW FOR ALL OF EARTH'S GOVTS-SOCIETIES VEE DEEP SPACE COLONIZATION.

Near-Earth, Planetary, Trans/Inter-Planetary, + Interstellar ....@etc. Economies-of-Scale.

[USAF = US AEROSPACE FORCE here].
