1. You know, we could solve a lot of our problems if we stopped launching unarmed missiles and just used the real things.

2. Glad it flew. I was gonna comment that it needed a bigger engine to get all the way to NorKtown, but it turns out this test flight was just a little hop; the missile can go the full distance and them some. With 3 350Kt warheads. Ouch.

3. During the 70’s they attempted to launch an ICBM from a cargo plane.  Amazing thing was that it worked and the missle flew on to target.  USAF dropped plans for basing ICBMs on cargo planes because it would destabilize the US/Soviets.  I suspect that those plans are lying about somewhere, ready to be dusted off and used. 

   The other thing is that a cargo plane, could if required be modified to launch cruise missles.  Think of a platform that could idle hundreds of miles off of a foe’s coast and launch dozens and dozens of those babies.
