If you are correct, the feedpoint impedance of a 1/2WL standing-wave

dipole should change from 75 ohms to around 600 ohms (traveling wave
antenna) when installed in free space. Does NASA know that resonant
standing-wave antennas, like 1/2WL dipoles, will not work in free
space because of all those free electrons in free space?

Alternate electric field from the ends of the dipole kicks the electrons in
the space and they oscillate (longitudinal electric waves).
