      Yes, the military really is interested in using rockets to move cargo quickly around the world—especially 30 to 100 tons. Pretty big news for SpaceX, and maybe Blue Origin too. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/06/the-military-wants-to-use-rockets-for-cargo-delivery-anywhere-on-earth/ …

      I remember reading a Popular Mechanics (I think) article from like 15 years ago about scramjets and how they could insert a special forces squad anywhere on Earth and I was like "Then how do you support them afterward?"

      https://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-space/article/2006-12/semper-fly-marines-space/ … remember reading that (it was in PopSci). I was eight years old and still spent most of the article confused as to how you'd get them back

      things we currently do: * parachute in, at night, HALO USAF Combat Control teams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Combat_Control_Team … * have them verify and prep landing fields * then the C-130s roll in, seize the location, secure it * then MORE C-130s roll in ...eventually C-5s, etc >>>

      I was Space-A on C-5. They invited us to visit the cockpit. Climbing down the ladder from passenger deck to cargo hold a lil' bit of turbulence hit. Drove home that it was a really tall ladder inside that plane.

      yeah, it was space-a for me too I've done space A on C-130, C-141, C-5, and once KC-135 the KC-135 did an emergency night time landing we were told "watch out for the racing fire trucks, because they're not watching out for you" zesty !

          My favorite thing about a 130 is that you can never really be sure if you've taken off or not. It's all bumpy.

          I heard a guy claim to be on the longest take-off ever. Was on LC-130 (ski var) supplying a polar outpost. Weather made the snow sticky enough that the plane would not take off from the smooth runway. Pilot headed across the fields looking for better snow, bouncing all the way.
