He’s flying so fast in the Earth’s gravity (hence needing to go around it) that he is the one going BACK in time so he will be able to stop both missiles. That’s the warning he got in the clouds, using time travel to manipulate events. The question then is, why didn’t he just use that speed to catch both missiles in the first place, but rationalizing things like superheroes ruins them.
Well, today just started and it’s already weird. I was reading some right-wing bullshit that basically boiled down to, “Elon didn’t do a Nazi salute because there’s no reasonable purpose for him to have done one.” Now I read this, talking about how it’s silly to rationalize superheroes. And both tie into the quote from Mark Twain the first topic made me think of, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.”
