Jesse's Starship
““Yes, Mike.”
“Have you determined what you are going to be able to do when they launch the nuclear missiles?”
Jess looked at Elle and Tilly and shook his head, “Mike, we’re caught in an impossible scenario.”
“What do you mean?”
“If the submarine that launches against Washington uses a Cruise Missile, and I really think that’s what they’ll do, we can’t hit it from orbit. We’ll have to come into the atmosphere to hit it.”
“Why?”
“That area on the east coast is one of the most populated in the cou...ntry. That beam will hit the missile as well as anything under it. There could be a massive loss of life if that happens. Can you see that?”
“I do.”
“And if the launch against the Chinese Government is also done with a Cruise Missile, we would have to go down to the surface to shoot it down as well. I hope I don’t have to mention loss of life in China? We think the launch against Moscow will be with a ballistic missile. The launch would have to be done a long way from Moscow in the North Sea.MoreLess
