It would be fantastic if i could go by an invisible c130, but the reality is that an invisible c130 is beyond the means i have available. I have to figure out what to do with the c130s i have got. If i can find out a way to make it invisible at a critical moment in time, perhaps that is sufficient. Maybe i just need to create the perception of invisibility at a particular moment in time. How do we use what we have in novel and creative ways that are relevant to that future operating environment rather than sitting around and thinking big thoughts about teleportation machines and invisibility cloaks . Which is what we normally do. I think sometimes we get infatuated with the technology, and we need to spend less time thinking about the technology and more time thinking about innovative concepts for the technology we have. Seth if you figure out his solution to the invisibility cloak, let me know. My kids would be interested. Lt. Gen. Slife we are well on our way. I will keep you posted.
