Space Force is No Joke: Space may soon become a war zone!!

Welcome to the future

You used the word soon?

Great, now any nation can just drop a space-rock on anyone, via a cylindrical slug of metal shot out of a satellite down to earth, which they will officially be allowed to have.

Think nukes are bad? wait until a gazillion space-slugs are pointed at every bit of the surface lol

From the article:

The most obvious method of interfering with a satellite is a solid projectile. Moving satellites have very high kinetic energy and momentum. If a slower moving object can be placed briefly in the path of a satellite, then the resultant collision will be particularly devastating

What does Trump know?

On June 18, 2018, President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon to begin planning for a Space Force: a 6th independent military service branch to undertake missions and operations in the rapidly evolving space domain. The U.S. Space Force would be the first new military service in more than 70 years, following the establishment of the U.S. Air Force in 1947.

Doing this would eventually render space inaccessible for thousands of years, the bits from this and that busted satellite collide with other things, which drop bits that collide with other things, which drop bits that collide with other things.. and so on, until the orbits are full of small debris.. while the earth heads straight into an ice age because of all the sunlight being blocked/reflected by all that junk covering the entire outer atmosphere.

France recently announcement that it will build “bodyguard” satellites armed with either machine guns or lasers.

Just enough to keep his mouth shut! As he should!!!

Not my call but i would like this thread stopped and deleted for six months due to nat sec.imho

Hey, NATO is the one having a public conference or whatever about it. No one's talking about your secret tech. Not that your tech is very secret anymore. Won't be long until space is inhabited and people will just go look at the satellites up there in person, to see what's what :D

Dude I hacked it all,but right now this minute as you type.we are doing something that is on par with star trek and I want USA to get the advantage before it's lost.so shutting up keeps you from having to learn mandarin.get it?

No doubt directed-energy weapons will be used.

NATO needs to shut the fuck up!

space is already a war zone.

Earth's inhabitants are just kept blind to it.

Lasers are also being considered as defensive weapons, with the idea being to take out attacking satellites’ solar panels. With no power, the satellite will be unable to communicate with the ground station and is essentially lost.

The most obvious satellites to be targeted would be those dedicated to communication or observing.

“Our adversaries have transformed space into a warfighting domain already and the United States will not shrink from the challenge.” -Pence

The real question is what are we fight with.

Xwings or Spads

Your fairy tales don't impress me much, mister!

Also, learning mandarin is a wise thing to do. You must be able to understand what your enemy is saying if you wish to get any kind of intelligence on them!

Not to mention it would impress the ladies.

Trump made clear in June, “It is not enough to merely have an American presence in space, we must have American dominance in space.”

“Some people don’t want to hear this, and it sure isn’t in vogue, but—absolutely—we’re going to fight in space. We’re going to fight fromspace and we’re going to fight intospace…. We will engage terrestrial targets someday—ships, airplanes, land targets—from space.” -U.S. Space Command Commander-in-Chief Joseph W. Ashy, 1996

welcome kids, we are waiting for you :)

NATO can't even win in Afghanistan and now they're talking about Space?

I smell shit.
