1. Just like how Rocket turrets are needed to go to Aquilo and Railgun turrets are needed to go to the Solar system edge, Gun turrets should be a prerequisite research for space platform travel.
2. Just like how Fusion reactors need to be researched to travel to the Solar system edge, Nuclear power should be a prerequisite to go to Aquilo.
3. Despite not needing Military science packs to research Cliff explosives and Health, the Military science pack technology remains as an extraneous prerequisite for both.

This is not a bug.

This one is a bug tho:

Not needing solar panels to research space platform. Currently the only way to power a space platform are solar panels (I made a suggestion to allow boilers on space platforms with certain fuel types).

I’ve reposted this in Ideas and suggestions.

You can also use nuclear, but since Solar is the intended power source, I agree with you.
