Did this week feel auspicious to anyone else? Cyber Command became fully operational. Science took a major step toward creating invisible materials. There was even a historic election. Yeah, OK, maybe that's a big deal. For us, that's par for the course.
For instance: the Littoral Combat Ship design got schizophrenic. Navy SEALs faced charges of weapons-running. The Joint Strike Fighter faced (even more) delays and cost increases. We went inside the mind of the printer-bomber. The Air Force wanted to get inside the central nervous systems of its enemies. James Clapper took a big step toward actually running the nation's giant spy apparatus. The U.S. got ready to intensify a shadow war in Yemen. We looked back on some of the odder experiments in military medicine.
We know, we know: this is just what you'd expect of us. And rightfully so. We'll recharge our batteries this weekend and get back to it on Monday – with a certain audacity propelling us forward.
