I like that out of all that, this is the part that you took issue with 😂🤣
Though, I might counter that with the fact that we’ve conducted at least rudimentary low-earth orbit reconnaissance flights since the end of WWII/the beginnings of the Cold War with the U2 and (later) SR-71s… So, while my phrasing may have been off, I still feel as if there arguments to be made in favor of there being sufficient vacuum at their operational ceiling(s) to allow for a little extreme breathplay, if you will.
