The first thing I thought about when I heard this story was you guys  Then, I wondered why we can't have PD cannons on our spy sattelites.

I can't wait till we get a military shuttle with a nuclear reactor and some of those sexy railguns the navy has been testing

China will one day rule the world and North America will be a province of the Korean Nation.

Re: OT: China develops anti-satellite weapon
I have an old BW Legion of Superheroes comic where the timeline changed and the Chinese own the moon. But that's 1000 years in the future, we still have plenty of time to stop them.

Re: OT: China develops anti-satellite weapon
They flood our markets with cheap imitation goods, and we fall back. They disagree with us in virtually every political arena and we fall back. They commit espionage against us, pay for a presidential election, and displace millions of American workers, and we fall back. They ignore human rights, limit internet activity of their people, and control Hong Kong, and we fall back. I say the line must be drawn here, this far, no further!

I can.
The militarization of space is the biggest mistake humanity has ever made. Thanks, USA!

As if the USA started it.
The militarization of space began with Russia launching Sputnik. (Or with Germany launching suborbital V-2 rockets in WWII.)

As the United
States, with its global commitments, came to depend upon
communications satellites for the preponderance of its
military communications, the Soviets developed an anti-
satellite (ASAT) capability for dealing with these
strategic targets.

Wouldn't you call the deployment of military communications/reconnaissance/spy satellites as the start of 'space militarization'? |
