It's settled. I will hereby never complain if my kids ask for skateboards, bicycles, dance lessons, or a weekend camping trip.

Invest it in SpaceX or NASA and help humanity actually GET to the point where we can take our stupid wars to the stars!

The articles that I read (which included direct quotes from the Oculus CEO) explicitly stated that the funding is for R&D, NOT for speeding up consumer production. Misleading, inaccurate headline.
Haters gon' hate...
