Why not just… deorbit it? They’re not particularly resistant to atmospheric heating

Sounds like every print would take several hours longer

This is so America-centric, I don't even know how to respond.

Why does everything have to be a competition? You realize space advancement benefits everyone when done cooperatively?

Threatening Taiwan doesn’t make China money.

America going to war with whoever/funding other ally wars makes American military equipment companies money.

Conflict only feeds the military industrial complex. Neither government wants conflict. It’s just that American companies do.

Thanks for the input, but why are people assuming the pilot is a noob?

Yes and no. It depends on clearance. For instance you can fly freely without squawking over the Hudson River right alongside the Manhattan skyline. There are routes where you have to get clearance for prior. I’m assuming this pilot is one of many who fly VIPs around LA, since that’s a place full of that

Pilot here.

Guarantee that’s not even close to an 80° bank. It looks that way because the camera being held is probably co-seat’s phone.

Secondly, you can do an 80° bank. FAA says it’s completely fine, though 60° is better for beginners to learn.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at, perhaps Reddit fear mongering. Airplanes and helicopters are designed to go through a lot worse.
