Have you noticed that POTUS wasn't a racist homophobe until he ran for President? They're not after Trump. They're after us. Trump is just in their way.
If it were up to me, a rubber band gun aimed skyward would be considered a potential threat. At least we have a President who might consider doing something about this “friendly” space launch, like maybe sending a few “friends” back at them.
Looking at Story-1, I gotta wonder what grade school won the competition to do the paint scheme on the rocket.

Actually, an Iranian launch might be a good live target for certain… technologies, which I know nothing about… nuth-thing.

*heh* Yeah, classic “lipstick on a pig”
Mebbe it was that some boss guy tried to get his wives off his case by lettin’ ‘em decorate it.
I waaas gonna do a joke about the paint job makin’ it too heavy to reach orbit.

I just was looking at the pictures from the story again when this jumped out at me: forget the paint job on the rocket, who was the “friendly” who conveniently painted the targeting circles around the launch site?
