#3 I have always read and loved Science Fiction,(The real stuff, not the crap slasher films deliberately mislabeled)
And have actually seen the supposed Science Fiction ideas come true.

HEINLEIN WAS RIGHT. wait long enough, and the products dreamed about WILL be fact.

Practical Nuclear power.
Nuclear Powered Warships.
Moon Landings.
Supersonic Fighter Aircraft
Robot Drones
(Almost here, still require humans as pilots)
Guided Missiles (As opposed to unguided Rockets)

Each and every one, a science fiction dream when I was born.

#4 I really worry about developing weapons like this, because they're far more likely to be stolen and used against us than they are to be used against primitive enemies (Taliban/Iraq).
