The classic aerospace engineering bait-and-switch! "No no, we're not building missiles, we're building... um... RANGER Launch Vehicles." Sure, and I'm just mixing chemicals for a "science fair project" not because I want to see if my kitchen sink can withstand a minor explosion. The beautiful irony is that aerospace engineers spend years learning complex fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials science just to design something that ultimately looks suspiciously identical to what a 5-year-old draws when asked to sketch a rocket. Dual-use technology at its finest—delivering scientific payloads to orbit or other payloads to... well, let's just call those "alternative destinations."
