Not a picture. But damn.....

A new video from a shipbuilder captures catapult testing on the US Navy's next supercarrier and shows heavy car-like vehicles being launched into the James River in Virginia.

The testing is designed to evaluate the onboard catapults and ensure that the aircraft carrier is ready launch actual fixed wing aircraft, from fighter jets like the F/A-18 Super Hornets to early warning planes like the E-2 Hawkeye.

This is not a "holy shit". This is a "Hellllll FUCKING NO!!!!!" 

Of all the things to fear in this world, bugs growing in your sinuses was not one of mine….. but here we are.

Add it to the list after ALS, dementia, penile cancer, mass shootings at your kids schools, being falsely convicted of a crime you didn’t commit, etc, etc….

I lived in the brown high rise in the picture below for a year. Have some pictures laying around somewhere that I took from there of the orange thing getting launched.

Only one nation in history has the technological know how to make it work, the economy to afford it and the militarism to actually do it.  While China's shitbox carriers can't even launch a knock-off MIG with a 50's era steam catapult, America uses electro goddamn magnets.
