Quote: What's got a 500-foot wingspan, flies at 90,000 feet and stays up in the air for five years without ever touching the ground?
If the Pentagon has its way, it'll be the Vulture, its planned long-, long-, long-range unmanned surveillance and communication aircraft.

I can see where this could be a good thing to have in our skies. To help see what's going on around the world to possibly also see what's going on in the skies.
BUT! I doubt *very* seriously that Russia, Iran, Iraq, China... just to name a few... would want this in the sky ready to record what is going on within their territories. Plus I don't see our government letting any other country have access to any information being recorded.
In short, I don't see this thing *flying*... in many ways and on many levels.
