  • The visual gag that SpaceX Dragon has shot down Yachio from orbit was great.

    I don’t think this is a Falcon 9, most notibly it has a single engine and seems to be single stage.

    Going by the theme of US weapons in the opening scences of this episode, I assumed it’s probably a LGM-118 Peacekeeper or at least some kind of ballistic missile.


  • When Yachiyo re-enters from space they first think it’s some kind of threat and trying to shoot her down. And we can see in the beginning that they have a Phalanx CIWS, Patriot air defence systems and a bunch of vertical lunch tubes. Assuming the VLS carries SM-6 missiles, that’s 3 air defence systems, two with medium range for a target that is going to hit nearby.

    But instead they try to intercept her with what seems to be an ICBM? That was never going to work. This racoon needs to be court marshalled for almost blowing up the city.
