Re: OT: China develops anti-satellite weapon

Quote:

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'?
