The cynic looks at $320M price tag and wonders why I don't have better schools for my kids and DARPA doesn't have a better video of this thing.

Would $320M make much of a difference? The city of LA just spent $500M on a single school building.

I wager had the money gone towards education, we would either have a $820M school building or a second one worth $320M.
