  An ICBM is basically a lifting body with reentry capability. So yeah, we absolutely want SpaceX to build those - that's their entire purpose.
  The whole space race was basically the US and Soviets showing off rocketry capabilities because a warhead that doesn't go where you want isn't worth anything.
  Welcome to the world of dual-use technology and why economic sanctions and nonproliferation efforts are so complex.
context: Can you help me understand the other amendments on which we Americans all agree? I am pretty certain that our legal scholars spend day on and day out struggling with the interpretation of the law. Not one point in the Constitution is above debate. It is why we have the processes and protections we have.
  This is one of the greatest benefits and challenges with the system we established and the process we have followed for 246 years, give or take. It isn't easy and it isn't convenient. It isn't pretty, and it definitely is subject to being unfair but it is our way. >
  
  The bill of rights is clear.  The difficulty is transferring broad freedoms to modern times.  
  After the revolutionary war, there were privately owned warships.  Which were the pinnacle of military technology at the time.  The second amendment has to be toned down from that level of freedom, as no one wants SpaceX to build ICBMs.
