But the path from concept to production may not be smooth. Flying in Earth’s air requires a thrust at least 10 times greater than in outer space where drag and gravity are lower. And the plasma necessary to fly also obstructs wave transmission used for communicating with a remote source.
Oh, that's no problem! The saucers are for space-superiority missions and troop transports. Once orbit has been secured, they release drop-ships, grav tanks, and sub-orbital fighters for ground assault.
Soon, the galaxy will be ours! :joe:
