.:But again, I might sound somewhat silly, I've just looked all over their

Honestly, I'd prefer to see such machines put to good uses like earth / 
space / meteorological simulations.  But frankly, until we can put 
the machines doing weapons research to more useful tasks, VT can have 
their damn toy.  What's a few million dollars wasted there, when we pour 
BILLIONS or TRILLIONS into the national military-industrial toilet?
