Ice cream delivered via controlled explosion. There's something very Dr. Stangelove about that.

We're so confident we'll tell everybody in the world we're coming.

As a non-American I've gotta say that Prompt Global Strike thing is chilling. If it becomes possible to deliver non-nuclear bombs by ICBM you know the generals and Presidents are going to start doing more drone strikes from other continents, just like they do drone strikes from local bases now and control them from home. If the capability exists the need for it will be retroactively discovered. I really don't want to live in a world where the USAF (or certain other nations once they figure this out too) can drop a bomb on every single square foot of the Earth within an hour. As for the actual subject of this video... It does seem pretty far fetched. Outside of science fiction novels there's seldom a need to get a a single VIP from one point on the globe to another widely separated point within hours. And if you're transporting cargo... Well, what kind of cargo absolutely has to be delivered immediately but is still redundant enough to risk in a rocket launch? And if you're carrying troops, the rocket gives you no element of surprise whatsoever. Everyone in the area will know you arrived and have plenty of time to shoot at your rocket-ship that's probably still filled with explosive fuel.
