USA has secretly gotten ahead of the quantum race.

Part of their disclosure plan is it work with allies on multiple needs.

With fusion on the horizon, we will need batteries.

With electromagnetic craft, moon trips will be easy.

Secretly? QC companies have been shouting every tiny bit of progress from the rooftops, usually before it gets made.

That’s because the military already had it. They are just now getting bits and pieces.

Fusion isn't on the horizon. And batteries are needed for EVs and Solar/Wind.

And electromagnetic craft are a terrible way to get to the moon.

Why is it terrible? Using microwave emitters in a superconductive hull, and with enough energy, can engineer the pulling mechanics of the superforce.

This is all stuff the military has explored
