I honestly just hope that they see a rational use for us instead of going the extinction route.

My nephew from the wife's side. Kid is a genius. Has an interview for a PHD program at M.I.T. next week. Apparently less than 1% of applicants even get an interview.

In his UK lab, senior Lucas Bertucci plots a green revolution, one recycled metal scrap at a time • Kentucky Lantern

A Louisville native, Bertucci hopes to inspire change on the state and local levels. Bertucci’s passion for sustainable energy underscores his efforts.

So Lucas has some offers on the table. So far he has scholarship offers from Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon... but the big one is a $90k per year scholarship for 5 years to earn his PhD from Yale. $50k for tuition and $40k for living expenses.

He's still waiting to hear back from a couple of schools including MIT.

Nope.

It does kind of make us look like hurtbags to rely on America to defend our airspace.
