NATICK, Mass. (April 1, 2016) -- Army scientists have successfully "teleported" a fully equipped squad from a Massachusetts research and development facility to a training area in Germany, the Natick Soldier Systems Center (NSSC) announced today.

The nine human research volunteers, fresh out of Advanced Individual Training, were participating in experiments in the Doriot Climatic Chambers at NSSC when they disappeared and moments later materialized at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, completely unharmed. The chambers are capable of replicating any climate or weather in the world but have never before been used in this manner.

Teleportation, made famous in the "Star Trek" television series and movies, had been -- until what the Army is calling the "Natick incident" -- a hypothetical way of moving objects from place to place. American writer Charles Fort is reported to have coined the word in 1931.

Officials at Natick were elated by the event, which promises to one day revolutionize the way that American troops and equipment are transported around the globe. It also could ultimately make overseas bases obsolete as forces are instead moved from U.S. soil to remote trouble spots in the blink of an eye.

This is way cool!!!

This is why it's good to have a proper understanding of metaphysics. You don't fall for stuff like this that way.

While not quite as cool, we can virtually place a pilot in a drone,
and have him shoot missiles at bad guys, from a place where he/or she is not in danger.

Yeah, I think this is the way of many of our dreams of the future will actually come about.
Virtual technology is so outrageously cheaper than actually building stuff, that once it gets going, I think it will be a hard engine to stop.

I guess the only question is, will the cool stuff get here before skynet?

The only thing wrong with that is those geeks get flight pay. I guess they will also get hazardous duty pay if the spill their Big Gulp in their lap.

what a world, yes?

The Zombie Problem and Teleporter Problem do not make teleporters impossible. They just mean it might be a very bad idea.
