How To Make a Mutant Flu

Hank dishes out updates on the mutant flu virus and the James Webb Space Telescope, and gives us some new bits about new exoplanets, secret space planes, and a study that shows that music evolves according to Darwin's rules.

Spy plane, rod from God, missile launch/ missile defense platform (think Star Wars), satellite shoot down maneuvers, covert satellite repair, unmanned near Earth exploration (taking a closer look at the Moon), and supple drops to ISS, MIR, and even high altitude ground locations if the parachutes are strong enough. There's a lot you can do with a robot in space.

i think they can use it as a spy plane, where conventional rockets cant reach them.

They can be eventually be able to deliver bomb payloads or launch warheads from the planes.
