What's that thing? I see a design that took the reference from the F-22 Raptor. And when carrier capable, I thought the F/A 35 will do fine.

Bah, movie ones can never make it into reality. I'm sure it must be CG.
I've seen tons of movies which uses aircrafts that are impossible to create for reality, so CG is the only thing that can make them.

I take it you have never seen Stealth.
Its more realistic than other future movies I've seen.

You got it, but still, I don't believe in fictional aircrafts from movies, they can never apply into reality. Even if it works, will they be used in the future?
Like a Star Destroyer, it'll take years or decades to have the first prototype launched even if it's fictional. Although the Star Destroyer is very huge, the Acclamator Cruiser is the only baby Star Destroyer to begin with.

Well, sure. It probably took billions of dollars to create the UCAV (in the movie) and numerous prototypes.

Worlds highest skydive: Has anyone scene this video, of a man in 1960 being the first person to skydive from 103,000 feet, and break the sound beerier without a vehicle. Also this summer a French man is planing to break that record by jumping from 180,000 feet in a helium balloon. Here is a link to the video in case you haven't seen it yet... www.youtube.com/watch?v=thyTzCU9c2U

Wow, skydiving that high is really killing. I wonder is it as much as taking training for being an astronaut while fighting against heavy pressure of gravitational forces.

The thing is that he used a pressure suit which is alot bulkier and heavier then a normal space suit. He also wore a pack which had 2 chutes in at and 2 air tanks along with a heating and cooling device. During an interview he said that when he jumped he was just held still in space (what seemed like it) since there was no air resistance on him. His helmet was the same one that was used on the Mercury 2 rocket. The chutes he used were the ones used on rocket capsules.

Wow, so that's how skydiving was done without actually killing the diver.
