Not bad, I think it’s a great idea, but poor execution.

VC tech bros don’t learn anything 🙂
Thornton is just the next Elizabeth Holmes or SBF of the military tech world.

Well if this doesn’t work out for him he already has the right catch-phrases in tow to go into politics

> Thornton was reaching into a blast chamber surrounding a hydrogen-powered gun when the gas unexpectedly ignited, blowing up the machinery and sending a spray of shrapnel across the room. Thornton was miraculously unharmed, but a colleague helping with the test was rushed to the hospital with hundreds of pieces of metal in his body. (The employee recovered, though some of the shrapnel remains.)
He may have fucked up with the hydrogen weapons, but we may get Iron Man

I think the biggest mistake is he didn’t ask r/noncredibledefense for advice
But nonetheless he got balls to make new concept of gun

This is a joke, a 19 year old cannot make the most advanced weapon on this planet, I thought this is common sense.
This job should be done with people who at least gained a PhD in nuclear physics

He didn’t even finish MIT and still gets tens of millions to fuck with hydrogen gas lol.
Like why use H2 exept for a thermonuclear bomb? Its hard to detect leaks of it and on top of that its literally the smallest molecule there is and so its the hardest gas to store in the world.
Isn’t military hardware supposed to be reliable and survive rough conditions? Seems stupid to have it on the frontline. Even the tiniest amount of damage could be catastrophical due to how small H2 molecule si and how easy it is for it to leak, from what I know.

Also is H2 even that good of a fuel?
