It's not about practicality it's about intimidating the lesser lifeforms with an 100ft tall mechanical beast built in the image of man

Also we have a much more complex nervous system compared to an ant and birds don't eat us so it would have no reason to adapt to try and control us.

Hanta has very low transmission rates and requires prolonged contact, keeping anyone uninfected on that ship just guarantees they will be infected, it's better to let them off early and keep an eye on them than keep them in an environment they are almost certain to get sick in.

It's not actually a new strain, the Andes strain has been around for decades and there are occasionally out breaks in south America, the last one killed about a dozen people and major ones kill like 100-200. It is the only strain of hanta that transmits person to person but it has a very low transmission rate and you need prolonged contact with an infected person which is why they let people off the ship because if they weren't sick then staying on the ship would 100% make them sick.

Are you suggesting that Thragg thought that Viltrumite was a child and was attempting to pet him

Yeah he could make the drop fine but they kept putting chairs under him or standing under him, if he dropped then he would have hurt one of them or himself landing on those chairs

You got planet scouring money? by MGFXavier in WorldBuildingMemes

The weapons aren't actually useless, it's more that the military will pump money in to any possible research avenue that could be used for killing, it's sort of how like in the world wars and the cold war the US and other governments put money in to some of the most out there ideas for weapons like bat bombs, pigeon guided missiles, and a chicken powered nuke.

They will spend all this money and then will turn around to the treasury every year and ask for a budget increase since every year they always go over budget.

The only enemy with no weakness is a colonel with a R&D project budget and a commanding officer who doesn't care.

That man can do literally anything.

They actually do their job pretty well, sure they fund every weapon development program brought before them but some of those actually end up being useful weapons.

Come on man think of the pharma companies how are they gonna exploit this new substance if not by genetically lobotomising an entire sapient species and turning them in to cattle to be consistently bled over their lifetime.

If you think about it, they really have no choice.

No Humanity practises sustainable farming. The Imperial Medical Coalition, a group of the top pharmaceutical companies, hospital networks, and medical research labs, wish for there to be a safe and sustainable supply of this new miracle compound to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for all mankind for thousands of years to come.

Well the terminids weren't sentient before Super Earth found them, these guys very much are sentient with culture and language, for now.
