Wouldn't the main concern with using missiles in a vacuum whether or not
they use fins/lifting body/thrusters to maneuver? (After all, since
there's no atmosphere, there's nothing to cause instabilities in the
flight path.)
So, in other words, the missiles will fly normally, or they'll fly like
big, fat, slow rockets. (8-)
