Today's lecture : "How to start a interplanetary incident in 3...2...1..."
Welcome to Earth stranger. Did you call ahead? No? Too bad.
Admittedly the odds a spaceship just so happening to land in the middle of a high security military testing facility are remote enough to make this sort of response make a bit of sense.
Especially one that just goes ahead and lands rather than trying to make comm contact with anyone first. Calling ahead really is the prudent thing to do.
Hardly "middle", the scope shows a range of 225 km... but I'm reading for the first time; do we learn more later?
Aren't the closed air space around military installations tend to be rather large?
Depends on the installation! I live 4 miles from a small airbase, you'd never know it except for the occasional overflight.
The ones with big zones tend to be even more remote than you've depicted.
Really enjoying it so far!
I haven't, I was exaggerating
