Yes, the US Is Launching a Hypersonic Missile on Election Day

Share:

On Election Day, as Americans anxiously await the results of the presidential vote, the U.S. military is set to conduct a hypersonic missile test. This timing is striking, as it comes in the midst of an already tense and divided national atmosphere.

Scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, the unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile will blast off into the night just hours after the polls close. The missile test, officials say, is intended to “show the readiness of nuclear U.S. forces” and instill “confidence in the nation’s nuclear deterrence.”

Yet, many Americans are questioning the necessity of holding such an exercise on the same day the nation is casting votes for the next president. The election itself has already stirred heightened emotions, and for millions who already feel uneasy about the nation’s future, the unexpected announcement of a missile launch may amplify their fears. While military leaders insist the test is “routine” and “was scheduled years in advance,” the symbolism of a hypersonic missile test on such a consequential day is hard to ignore.

The missile, capable of reaching speeds over 15,000 miles per hour, will travel 4,200 miles to its target at the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific. Its range and power underscore America’s formidable defense capabilities, as Col. Bryan Titus of Space Launch Delta 30 remarked that these tests hold “immense significance, not only for our nation’s defense but also serve as a pivotal moment in showcasing the exceptional capabilities and expertise of our dedicated team.”

Still, many question if now is the best moment to remind citizens of America’s nuclear arsenal, particularly as Russian officials warn of a deteriorating relationship with the U.S. and the looming threat of conflict.

In times like these, it’s natural to feel unsettled. However, as Christians, we are reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear.

Scripture assures us that we can find peace and comfort by casting our burdens upon the Lord. “Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:6-7). In a world that often feels uncertain, this verse offers an anchor, reminding us that even amid high-stakes tensions and anxieties, we do not have to face our fears alone.
