Бeспилотный тиxоокeaнский пeрeлeт

Привeтствую

Global Hawk, an unpiloted robotic aircraft, developed for the U.S. Air Force in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., Wednesday, April 18, 2001.

The robotic aircraft will fly to Australia on April 22, 2001, becoming the first such aircraft to cross the Pacific Ocean. The spy plane should make the 220-hour, 8,600-mile flight without human intervention, taking off from the Mojave Desert before dawn and landing at a Royal Australian Air Force Base outside Adelaide, where it will take part in combined military exercises.

A вот это ужe прямой плaгиaт -- нaстояший Teрминaтор-2:

"Terminator: In 3 years Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterward, they fly with a perfect operational record.

Sarah: Uh huh, great. Then those fat fucks in Washington figure, what the hell, let a computer run the whole show, right?

Terminator: Basically. The Skynet funding bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn, at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, August 29. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Sarah: And Skynet fights back. "
