“Misdirection is the key to survival, never attack what your enemy defends, never behave as your enemy expects, and never reveal your true strength. If knowledge is power then to be unknown is to be unconquerable.”

I mean, I could think of this as an extension of existing space infrastructure, allow using the spaceport as hub for extra-fast delivery.
The problem is this require said spaceport to existed in the first place, which we still have exactly zero of it.
Chinese commercial launch sector is very, very competitive area, where at least a dozen company still fighting over each other to find their own niche to fulfill. Land launch, sea launch, solid fuel, Lox/LH2 rocket, Lox/Methane rocket, expendable, reusable, Falcon 9 clone, mini-falcon 9, small payload rocket, gigantic rocket, and more. And this is only the commercial sector. I haven’t even touch what the CASC and other state-own agencies are probably working on. (probably, because a lot of what they are working on is dual civilian-military program, which came with fuck tons of secrecy as a result). My guess is this is their attempt to gain investors and find their own place, nothing more.
Curiously, compare to more prominent players like Deep Blue Aerospace, LandSpace, Galactic Energy, or iSpace (seriously?), I don’t think the name Space Epoch came up very often. Like with almost ALL Chinese commercial launch companies, what they will produce, if it went anywere, remain to be seen.
Every times I tried to give the British some benefit of the doubt, thinking maybe my opinion of them has been too harsh in the past, something like this always happened.
If they tried to get there again, I hope they didn’t neglected to put toilet facilities onto their spacecraft this time.
Loss will definitely be high in such scenario. Bombarding a city to rubles rarely work to the advantage of the invader. It didn’t work in German favor during Battle of Stalingrad. It didn’t work in British’s favor during Battle of Caen. I doubt it would work in IDF favor here, especially against people who have a lot of explosives and nothing to lose.
But yeah, it’s going to be ugly, especially consider how little IDF care about collateral damage.

I want to see how my former OPSEC instructor would react to this information.
Thank you.
