The Space Force justified the weapons deployment by citing the US's two biggest geopolitical rivals: Russia and China. Beijing responded by urging Washington to "stop preparing for war" in outer space.

    Some time ago I watched a vid about a theoretical space ballista that shot titanium (IIRC) rods down to earth and the theoretical damage was comparable to a nuke but without any radiation.

    Such a rad concept from a nerd / scifi POV.

    SpaceX continues to launch classified payloads for Isntreal. The US handed Isntreal nukes, so what is the chance that they’ll also receive access to space weapons?
