How would you like to be the researcher working on the stink bomb? Blarf!

I don’t see how the robotic moths would be that effective as surveillance tools. Judging by the erratic way that moths fly, it seems like you’d need some industrial-strength image stabilization technology on that thing. And even then, despite the fact that you can “steer” the moth, it seems like the images would be pretty random.

The rods from God look cool, but I sure hope they have a good way to vaporize it in space if the satellite had a problem and started losing its orbit or something. Yikes.

No...their strength is not that they can take pictures as they fly, but that they can fly to where they need to be to watch an area with their eyes. Video captures the area and gets transmitted HR via satellite. Maybe visual, maybe IR, or whatever.

Gives ME the creeps.
