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?

Currently, we can deliver a payload to anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less. The Ballistic Linear Acceleration Massdriver (BLAM for short) can deliver a payload inside a specially designed shell that has a 90% on target rating with 78% overall survivability of the payload (breakdown of supplies and personnel survivability not available).
