I see B2s once in a while. I was mowing the yard one day when I thought I heard a motorcycle starting up right behind me. I looked around and saw a B2 making a turn in low level flight over a field. Surprised me how loud, (and how close) it was.

My Uncle was an Air Force General involved in the B-2 acquisition program. The reason why they cost 2 Billion a piece is this: Originally the Air Force went to Northrop and said "we want you to build us a stealth bomber. We'll order 100 of them and pay 500 million a piece for them." Northrop spent over a decade designing, building and testing the B-2 and when they were ready to start building the 100 aircraft the Air Force changed its mind and said "We only want 20". Northrop had to recoup all of the money they had spent over the previous decade so to do this they raised the price of each one from 500 million to 2 Billion. It was a smoke and mirrors thing. Congress wanted to cut the budget so the Air Force said "we'll only order 20". Even though they would still be spending 90% of what they originally planed on spending on the 100 it was still 10% less and on paper going from 100 to 20 looks like a big cut so congress was satisfied. That's the government for you.

Gold is meaningless metal, it's useful in scientific applications and it's desired by those with no sense of taste. The United States Dollar reigns supreme. Please note, the US Dollar is responsible for inventing modern stealth technology, for inventing the internet, for inventing the Integrated Circuit, for inventing the worlds first mRNA vaccine, and so much more. Gold is used by countries we won't do business with so they're desperate to get others to back that dead horse. Gold, Silver, Platinum these metals are far more useful as metals in sensors, electronics, chemical reactors, plating, etc in modern technology and medical devices then they are gathering dust in a vault. Only losers use gold as a currency. I've got two forms of currency cash/the US Dollar; and ammo. If SHTF gold is heavy and useless except in making you a target, ammo is valuable and useful and doesn't weigh as much but is worth ten times it's weight in gold in any emergency.

Who cares, gold isn't money anymore unless the US refuses to do business with you. Gold is best used in sensors and technology, wasting precious metals on jewelry or sitting in vaults is just silly. There's a reason all nations stopped using gold to back our currencies.

I live 1 mile outside of Whiteman, the flightline is literally 2 fields away from the entrance to my rural suburb of a little outside Knob Noster, MO. I watch the B-2's take off and land or feel them shake my house on a regular basis when they take off. Also, Whiteman received it's first B-2 in 1993 no1 94, when they entered service.

Yeah, seeing as ONE Gram of diamond costs between 8,000 and 70,000 dollars, and an empty B2 weighs 72,575 Kg, the cost of the cheapest quality diamond B2 replica would cost $580,600,000,000. Which is more than the $2,000,000,000 quoted in the video title.

Too expensive to build?? LOL just print more money. Who cares. The US has a debt of like 33 trillions. Whats 20-50 billion more for B-2s?? nothing. Create some special government treasury bond with a pretty B-2 picture on them and sell them to investors.

Spins are only lethal if a pilot does not know how to recover or totally screwed up. I can recover from a stall in 1.5 turns, 75 ft. below the initial starting altitude of the stall.
