How would you get a dog someplace, if driving wasn't an option?

My understanding is this isn't an option for a dog that can't fit in your carry-on. What airlines allow full sized dogs in the cabin without pretending its an emotional support/service animal?

Unfortunately, it looks really unlikely that fighters will be a viable space combat option in real life.

Lasers are going to basically render getting within hundreds, or even thousands of KM suicidal without stealth, and stealth good enough to permit that may not be possible. For reference, light travels 300km in 1ms, shooting a target 3,000km away would have 20ms of uncertainty from the range. Assuming your target randomly accelerates at 10g, at the worst possible time, you miss by only 50cm at 3,000km due to the travel time.

You want fighters in an otherwise hard-scifi setting, hand-waving is unavoidable.

I meant if you were moving, or going to away longer then it would be reasonable to kennel for?
