To the natives of Night City, an intercontinental missile is a wondrous thing—
It looks like a rocket!
On the roadside, a group of Night City residents lined up to board a vehicle looked up and exclaimed, "Whoa... from Taiping State?"
Rocket launches in this world are a monopolized power, with only a few organizations able to project into orbit. In Night City, only Orbital Aviation Company had this business here.
However, Orbital Aviation had evacuated Night City half a year ago, and this business had been shut down a year and a half ago!
Orbital Aviation concluded that without the guarantee of "free trade," Night City no longer had development potential, so they gradually shut down aerospace transportation and other businesses, completely vacating and demolishing the whole orbital spaceport half a year ago. So, where did this rocket in Night City come from?
There's only one answer.
