Re: NBC

  Last night I got to watch The Simpsons.  It was the episode where Bart
and Lisa go to military school.  At the end, during graduation, the old
soldier got to give his speach to the cadets.  It was along the lines
of...
  'In the future, wars will be much different.	Battles will be fought
by small robots in space, or maybe on a tall mountain.	But anyway, your
job will be to build and maintain these robots...'
  Why send a 500kg of man, munitions, medications and meals when you can
send 1mg of nanites.  :D
