Trump's imaginary "super-duper missile" would be able to reach the moon in less than an hour

since he's talking about speeds greater than escape velocity.

I believe he should volunteer to be sent along on the very first launch. Since it's so super-duper. Even if there'd be no chance of landing anywhere near any place on Earth, I think he'd want to Make Outer Space Great Again (MOSGA, to be pronounced Most GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! in anticipation of his overjoyed response as he "slips the surly bonds of earth" while the MAGAts below cheer him on).

Think of the speeches he could make before his test flight!

Think of the super-duper ratings!

FWIW, the Moron-in-Chief, who was touting this imaginary missile that will be 17 times faster than anything we have now

probably misunderstood an Air Force plan to develop new hypersonic cruise missiles:

But I think the new Space Force should be working as hard as possible to create this super-duper thing Trump's babbling about for his next great adventure.
