Default US military used half a million hours of unmanned aircraft

Interesting story documenting how much pilotless airplanes are being
used in combat. The article says about 500,000 hours have been used so
far.

It's interesting to speculate what this might mean for high risk
flights in general, like space flight, as well as more rountine
flying.
