The relay is destroyed at "15:54:22", the astronauts are beginning their assault on LOKI at "15:41:10" on the same day. So for one they launched prior to the satellite being down. For another, they made it there quite a bit fast. Apollo 11 took 6 hours to reach the moon. So I don't think it's too likely that the US launched a rocket that got there that quickly. And again, in hindsight, LOKI themselves should have seen a rocket approaching. The more one thinks about the rocket launch the less sense it makes.
