The 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is the deepest penetrating 'bunker buster' currently in the U.S. military's arsenal.

A request has now been secretly submitted to Congress for funding to make a more powerful weapon.

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
