    As a kid I used to watch space shuttle launches in Florida. You could always see the Russian “fishing” boats that sat in the same spot for days…I’m pretty sure they had cameras taking pics but they never exploded one … And I’m pretty sure the US and Russia had a lot bigger animosity than United launch alliance and SpaceX do…

      There were a lot bigger consequences of fucking around though too. MAD was a real threat for decades.

      I still think the sniper thing is bull shit though.
