You would need gravity and air for motion and airflow for stability. If theres NOTHING in space, then you cannto generate Motion, hence the assumption that space is filled with Ether. (Hope my memory is with me otherwise, its time for a Royal bash!!! )
With zero airflow, you cant have stability with or without fins, nor you can make an engine work.
I don't think a human can achieve a better target ID while flying a fast-mover at 300kts+.
The problem is not the drone.

I've long believed that behind the Swiss air of neutrality, lies a terrible, malevolent intent. And it's becoming more obvious that that intent is to initiate the destruction of mankind at the hands of our own technological creations...
First they teach them to lie, now some crazy b4stard want to create "the world's first artificial conscious and intelligent mind"

Can he bend spoons, too?

Probably. He has that look about him...
He really does look like someone who spends too much time in some spooky lab.
"'We will do it by 2018,' says the professor confidently. 'We need a lot of money , but I am getting it. '
But of course.
Samsungs military robot project was cancelled... not safe and proven enought to replace soldiers at the Northern border of South Korea.
Now they try to sell it as a surveillance system for corporate customers...
Those crazy folks at EPFL are at it again. You might remember that last year, they developed robots that learned to lie , and now they're teaching them to hunt.

They must be stopped. Who's with me?
