Recently Retired USAF General Makes Eyebrow-Raising Claims About Advanced Space Technology

Recently retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast gave a lecture last month that seems to further signal that the next major battlefield will be outer space. While military leadership rattling the space sabers is nothing new, Kwast's lecture included comments that heavily hint at the possibility that the United States military and its industry partners may have already developed next-generation technologies that have the potential to drastically change the aerospace field, and human civilization, forever. Is this mere posturing or could we actually be on the verge of making science fiction a reality?

    The Navy definitely wants compact fusion, for use on sailing ships if not in Navy "UFOs".

    The Navy doesn't have a lot of sailing ships, and even so the Constitution is pretty old already.
    I don't know about the UFOs.

    I just mean ships that travel on water, not spaceships or some shit.
