Do you know how fast one must travel to reach orbital escape velocity, just to get to the ISS?
Mach 34. That's 761.2 MPH x 34 = 25,880.8 miles an hour.


Here's a nice wiki on escape velocity
escape velocity

In other words, yes, it's entirely possible for humans to survive the G forces brought to bear in travelling thousands of miles an hour without the need for inertial dampening.
Inertial dampening would, of course, be nice.

Antarctica always seems to get attention, but totally unfounded. It's a nice idea but logistically and politically it'd be a nightmare to establish any sort of weapons testing area there.

And it'd upset the Penguins

Who says the penguins aren't in league with them too? ;-)

In all seriousness, Area 51 is indeed well known and not a suitable place for black projects. My guess would be either underground or a less obvious remote place that still has access to logistics (railroad, airstrip, shipdock). Politics isn't an issue, aslong as you pay the country big bucks to allow a base with no questions asked.. ;-)

Dugway (Michael AFB) is an active UAV facility. The Gorgon Stare was tested there.

S-4 never existed. We have satellite imagery and the area can be viewed from nearby hills. Site-4 exists as the Have Glib facility at the TTR.

This "theory" has some merit. The hangar is really overkill for fighter aircraft. They really don't need shielding as much as they need an anechoic chamber to absorb RF reflections. For small scale testing, such chambers have existed for years. If you have a military sized budget, you could build a mega-sized anechoic chamber for RCS testing.
