Im trying to imagine it... but how exactly would that work? Would they just walk up to the spaceship with guns? Or perhaps pass through the very simple screening process that they give to all space bound astronauts? Of course beforehand they would have read the new bestseller "How to fly nuclear powered spaceships" so they would have exact knowledge of how to fly it. And space-bound rockets these days are really easy to fly within the earths atmosphere... they actually can manuever just like planes. And of course any air force planes in the area would miss the big rocket stealthily weaving through the clouds.
Yeah, we will just find the material on the asteroids using our mining ships, bring it to the processing plant on the moon, and then build it in our huge new shipyards... how about on mars?
