They\'ve already awarded SpaceX over $125M to work on this waste.
Greg Spanjers, program manager for rocket cargo at AFRL, said the military envisions a future when it could be cheaper to send cargo via rocket than by transport aircraft. In a national security or humanitarian crisis, a launch vehicle would fly from Cape Canaveral, for example, and either land on an austere field to deliver cargo or airdrop it.
They have no intention of using it for humanitarian crises.
If they throw this thing in the wrong airspace, it could trigger a nuclear response.
