I once parachuted out of a C-5 that was just a few knots over “good to go” speed and it was interesting. Not sure I want to try a hypersonic jump…but hey, Mav survived a Mach 10 ejection, so all I need is a cut away scene!

The longest runway in the world just happens to be in China, but it’s called the Shigatse Peace Airport so we can’t attack there.

Sure we could- it's dual-use. But the field elevation might be a problem for your HS flight vehicle.

You're going to need one helluva a runway to land at too. The Space Shuttle's transoceanic emergency landing sites would give you a good start at what might be needed.

This is why some folks have eyed throwing some DOD money at SpaceX to support Starship development. Then all you'd need is a landing pad.

We’ll, sure, but the PAO types would have to refer to it as Shigatse War Airport.

I see they've learned their lesson from the B-2 rollout . . . "No one is allowed to see the back! Wait, shit, we didn't TFR anything and Aviation Leak rented a bugsmasher . . ."
