This has been happening for a while now, i remember reading over 2 years ago the the US aims to ulitmately control space access and use that to its
own advantage, whatever that may be. So long as this does not prevent other nations using space i dont really care, i just dont want some hinderance
to investment and progress in that area.
This kind of escalation endangers the whole frikkin' planet!
Its an ignorant move - just as when the administration decided to explore Nuclear Bunker Buster bombs - when experts pointed out taht conventional
bombs were actually more effective.
I think there is zero chane the U.S. hasn;t already begun this process years ago - lets hope we don't end up like the poor idiots in the 1979 movie
Meteor.
We'll probably just negotiate concessions with the Russians just like we did to build our missile defense.
Whooptie doo so the space-based weapons platforms probably already floating around up there will actually go public "Uhm... yeah... we just put them
up there just now... using uhm... Bob's rocket... yeah... can we have more money now?"
