Description
The floor recognizes the senator from Ohio. "So, Mr. Stark, you're telling me that you spent nearly 88 billion tax payer dollars earmarked for an advanced troop transportation technology and only 5 billion of it actually went toward the research we intended it for?" Anthony Stark: "As I stated in detail in nearly 42 thousand pages of very thorough reports--that apparently only your comely aides have read--our ability to open wormholes has progressed nicely. Of far more importance is our ability to map and thus predict where those wormholes open. To put it in simple terms that even elected officials like yourselves can understand, there is no GPS in space. We have a consistent and predictable architecture for the earths position relative to the sun and for the moon's position relative to the earth but all of those bodies are in motion on multiple axis. Since there is as yet no measurable distance from one end of the wormhole to the other, accurately opening a portal from one celestial body to another virtually requires that we already have measuring devices in place on the opposite end. It's the chicken and egg scenario, but this frickin' chicken is infinite and we don't want to microwave any civilian eggs--uh, taxpayers to you--in the process." Senator Dumas: "I don't mind telling you Mr. Stark, on behalf of everyone here, we grow tired of your flippant attitude and callous attitude toward our massive financial support. So cut to the chase, did you or did you not have a successful test of your wormhole apparatus--the, uh Cosmodrill--on March 4th 2018?" Anthony Stark: "Yes, we did. We just don't know where it went."
