Now that we no longer have the space shuttles how are we going to get the sling shots of Trump’s Space Force up in space? Oh, yeah – the Russians will do it for us. . . undoubtedly the Russians. And they’ll pay us to do it, too! Just like the Mexicans are paying for the wall.
Actually, that could work. The trick is finding a projectile that will survive passage through the atmosphere and still be large enough to deliver a lot of kinetic energy upon impact. The starting size may be the problem.

Point is, it worked. Bankrupted the Soviets trying to keep up.

I’d just as place my trust in Mother Hitton’s Littul Kittons!

After enough slingshots nobody will wanna fight…
