"Since you have to travel 12,500 miles to get to the other side of the world, it is hard to see how one gets there in minutes traveling at 4,000 miles an hour. The original story must be pure hokum." To keep the space weapons industry going, new project ideas are constantly generated, so someone probably has an answer to the problem you pose. For example, fleets of Falcons could be aloft, and could dispatch weapons through something like a re-entry pod. Presumably, the Falcon would be maneuverable and would circumvent new Chinese ability to shoot down orbiting craft. Why would anyone want to spend $450B in order to get weapons delivered faster? What's wrong with missiles? Could this be about developing support for spending more money in the defense industry?

You are stuck in the old world using physics and the space time continuum. Get with the po-gam. It's intelligent design now. Using physics is just plain unintelligent. Or unintelligible. Or something bad.
