This isn't a "we're going to Jupiter" moment, this is a "don't **** with us" kind of moment.

We are on the precipice of new technology that is more deadly than ICBM's and can render them useless for a number of years. That technology is also just as dangerous in the hands of radical regimes. How we manage these threats to civilization as a whole will define humanity in coming decades. I believe there is a window of time when we use it and then it becomes available to nutjob regimes who will have no humanity at all. In that window of time we have to solve very complex issues or we are all doomed for eternity. I have NO doubt that these United States will be able to do that and more as technology evolves and be the leader of who is doing it.
