As in manned flights?

human space travel

people traveling in outerspace

their is really people out there that think we are better now than we were in 1969 when it comes to humans traveing in space

@Aquillon: I mean if they want to say 💩 doesnt kill entire crews as often, then yes? But sadly, no, we haven't gone farther than the moon with people so space travel is just disappointing for me at the moment

Ye

Thank

well thats if u think we really went to the moon

But hey, sign me up for that one way trip to Mars if it happens in my lifetime

*doubtful but I can dream*

when i see a rocket take off then come back down towards earth before it gets very high makes me think we either arent or cant go to space

somehow nasa has better tech than the military cause the fastest missle is mach 5 but nasa can go mach 22

we spend a lot more on ways to kille ach other than space travel so money is no excuse

nasa knows magic thats all

lmao

you think any missile needs to go faster than mach 5?

well it only goes mach 3 now but they are planning to upgrade it to 5

Mach 22 for an ICBM is just wasting money

not a choice

that's just how the trajectory is

Also that, but theoretically if they could, what's the point?

too hard to intercept

Fair enough, but would it be cost effective in the long run to even fire one

NASA rockets already aren't cost effective

That entire organization is an expense, it never really turns profit, monetarily at least

ICBMs are very cost effective if you put nukes on them

far more effective than bombers or cruise missiles

Not if the enemy has multi kill vehicles

kinetic interceptors are just propaganda

a full scale attack is impossible to stop

and you only need 1 warhead to get through

the best an ABM system can hope for is to stop one or two ICBMs

They throw a bunch of these up

like north korea's arsenal

insufficient

you need 100% reliability

and need to be able to distinguish decoys from warheads

which is very non-trivial
