[quote]With the tecnology available in the tower you might be able to upgrade a f-22 to be able to travel to outer space[/quote] No doubt they'd retrofit it to be able to fly in space. The only issue is, none of these ships are realistic, there is no atmosphere in space. There is course correction, but free maneuverability? How? The fins on the space shuttle were for re-entry. Not for space flight maneuverability. If we were to face an alien fleet, our best hope would be to face them in our atmosphere. Do anti-gravity propulsion systems exist? Can we bend space time? I don't see how high end maneuverability would be feasible outside of an atmosphere, where wind resistence can be used to maneuver a flight craft
