    Scary that if true some of this stuff is true, it could lead to the weaponization of lightning.

    A satellite that can shoot an artifical cosmic ray and initiate the avalanche seems like something straight out of Sci-fi.

      Let’s hope Trump dies today before this can be weaponised. I can already see the AI pictures of him as Zeus.
