British Air Force Can Now Give Literal Death Stares

by Liz Colville

Wow, great, maybe, or damn, or great in the sarcastic sense: Britain’s RAF pilots are now being equipped with helmets that allow them to shoot planes just by looking at them. To actually destroy a plane they have to stare it down, then “steer a missile towards it with his, or her, mind,” which is easy. The scary helmet is also voice activated with commands like “Exterminate,” or “Die, die, die,” or “Go gently into that good night.”
