Space Force Chief almost sounds a little jealous, as if he doesn’t have the same capabilities in his arsenal. If anything is needed ‘up there’, it’s a contingent of police to direct traffic.

I just now wondered; If the rockets are filled with liquid hydrogen, how is that not catching fire going through the Van Allen belt at some 3K Kelvin’s ?
Maybe because they land in the ocean? None of the numbers make sense if you spend time thinking about them- distance to the sun, speed of rotation, speed of orbit, etc. After realizing Santa Claus really doesn’t come down your chimney, you realize you CAN start to trust your ability to be rational and think about where you are.
Good 2014 article on the Van Allen Belts and NASA’s Orion test flight…
