- iab 5y agoI like this one, but on further inspection, why? A crash would certainly reveal the breach of the outer space treaty, so for risk minimization why not just launch and keep it in orbit? Fun to think about though.
- BMc2020 5y agoGood points, but a launch when international tensions are high is too obvious. It's a good way to deliver a sneak attack or fake a terrorist nuke going off in their own hands.
