Did you see that the Navy has reduced its education and physical fitness standards in able to meet its recruiting goals? The other branches will probably do the same. I see one test required a score of 50% in order to pass. This all may be media bs, but it is something to think about. Maybe it’s the same test congress has to pass.

Huh? Congress pass a test! I thought all they had to do was fast talk enough people into voting for them.

Any "vehicle" that transports us, will have draw backs, because those vehicles are a product of human invention, as well as human error in the driving or upkeep of said vehicles.
Just think of your current vehicle for transporting you and your loved ones each day. Do you ever stop and think of the 15 gallons of "highly volatile" fuel that is stored, just inches away from the back seat where your children are seated (or sleeping peacefully)?
Life is full of "chance" happenings.
I remember reading in Popular Mechanics Magazine, about 50 years, about vehicles of the near future being powered by Hydrogen gas. (Now they call it the Blue Gas).
The one draw back at the time, was that the fuel would have to be contained in a very heavy cylinder, that would be an added weight to the vehicle. The worst thing that people would remark, that "Hydrogen is used to make bombs out of," and could be very explosive if accidentally detonated.
Whether it be a storage box of lithium batteries, hydrogen gas, or deadly gasoline, life is a gamble, at best.....
People that had to depend on horses to get to their jobs, had similar complaints about the mode of transportation.
(Ask anyone that has been on a horse that fell over and they were crushed by 2100 pounds of horse flesh.)
