Space Troopers: The Pentagon Wanted Marines to Ride Ballistic Missiles Into Battle
Steve Weintz, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Steve Weintz* *Security, * It was all about ending what the U.S. military calls the “tyranny of distance.” *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Moscow or Beijing would have minutes to decide whether it was a troop transport — or the beginning of a nuclear first strike. Actually using the system could inadvertently trigger a nuclear war. In the early Space Age, everything seemed possible — no matter how crazy. Which is why, in the 1960s, one American engineer seriously designed a space rocket to transport troops wearing jetpacks. This far-out concept aimed to lob Marine jet-batt...
