Russia and China “have developed and demonstrated the ability to conduct war fighting in space.”…

The chief of the US Space Force has warned that China is putting military capabilities into space at a “mind-boggling” pace, significantly increasing the risk of warfare in orbit.

“The number of different categories of space weapons that [China has] created and … the speed with which they’re doing it is very threatening,” said General Chance Saltzman, head of space operations at the US military’s recently created force tasked with protecting American interests in space.

    Amazing what can happen when you neglect your space program for a generation.

    Sucks to suck.

      We’ve been spending the last generation funneling as much money to the oligarchs as possible. We’ve seen what that did/does to Russia’s capabilities and we’re somehow surprised that it works the same way here too.

      Amazing what can happen when your “Only Real American” Talibangelicals manage to enforce their view that science is blasphemy in the face of their God who only talks to them in their heads.

      We are being lead to destruction by the most violently proudly ignorant among us.
