It would have been a better plan if Zuckerburg had gone along on this flight and did not return.

They support terrorists .... and are allowed Drones?

They should be on a no-fly list.

Absolutely. Mark Zuckerburg is a slimy traitor!

Hmmm..... this is the type of forward thinking needed to go into the future.

I’m terrifically impressed with the concept but especially with the vehicle. The drone is truly a marvel incorporating extreme technology.

Does the drone have a twitter account?

If so we could "white privilege shame" it. Any black people employed to design and build and launch it? Huh? Huh? Huh? I don't see any in the photos.

If it has any progressive heart at all, it would then crash itself into the nearest ground but not before it sent out its final words of shame at being "white."

Then Zucker would have to run to his safe space mansion behind his wall so he could weep in private for other peoples's sins against Black Lives.

Why should Facebook need a drone except for the “tech cool” factor that almost all subscribers are not going to care about. I do use Facebook but to me it isn’t as cool as it is cumbersome.

Yes it is. Ever since it's inception I've been in awe. Just amazing. My son spent a few hundred for a drone kit of some kind. He flys things - - from here to there - - so to speak.

off the subject but interesting

I traveled across I 10 headed to yuma when it was 105. On the left, the South side is the Barry Goldwater bombing range. It is a moonscape buffer abutting Mexico. It is literal hell. A wall would be wasted money

It's one of the most heavily traveled smugglers routes. The Air Police have routine run-in's with the smugglers. Famous photo showed a smuggler in a pick up truck ramming an AP truck.

The fact that it's a bombing range scares them not. They just walk across it. The bombing areas are well defined and seldom used.

Couple of years ago I was on Interstate 8 (it's not I-10 after Casa Grande, that goes north to Phoenix) just east of Gila Bend when I saw a group of 10 people wearing back packs and black clothing walking along the freeway.

Just a little column of illegals, waiting for their pick up car to show. They don't even bother to hide now.

They can't build the wall high enough for me. All of that area you saw is crawling with people smugglers, drug traffickers, and armed enforcers who act as forward spotters.

PS: 105 is not hot in that part of Arizona. It's routinely up near 110-115 and sometimes 120 during the summer.

Dang! I'll bet there are hundreds of Mexican skeletons everywhere out there.

There are.

They come across partial skeletons in Maricopa County, regularly. Reference namus.gov.
