The big brains at Skunk Works and elsewhere are so far into the future on star wars weapons development that we won't know what they are working on today until 30 years or more into the future. I was talking to some guys working on a rail gun project back in the 70's who told me someday they would be able to shoot a ball bearing sized projectile and hit a target on the moon. Talk about long range matches! The potential is mind boggling.

"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Track is 10 miles long I believe.
