Except for one friend of mine, who found it fascinating. That guy is currently one of the richest men on the planet. Hmmm.....

And lift has nothing to do with exoatmospheric, ballistic orbits. The only reason it has wings is returning to atmosphere, when it is empty.

Take your tin foil hat off, the air force does not know where the Pakistani. Bases are and they have the gps location, and you think they can fire an uninvented weapon with pin point accuracy from outer space. How do. They solve the. Reentry heat problem. You are one funny fellow.

You answered your own question. The Rods From God platforms would not travel in "outer space" but in the upper reaches of the atmosphere.

They solve it how they always do. Engineering. Let me ask you this, do you know the exact cause of atmospheric heating on reentering vehicles?
