I'm sad that so much of our technology is for killing.

The nike was the first missile project my dad worked on while at white sands.

The missiles he worked on (nike, minute man, MMII, MMIII, MX) did not kill. They protected us and saved millions of lives.
By making great weapons you can prevent war. There is nothing sad about that at all.
