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.

    5:1 is less than I’d have guessed on the money. We have a capitalism problem. Contractors dont charge an honest price, they charge every penny they can get away with. MIC is just a big money printing machine for a couple dozen companies.

    That $45 hammer meme isn’t just a meme.

      We have a southern problem, they know they can bribe the good ol boys for pennies on the dollar and the pork will always flow.

      Cut the spending, send it to states where people learned to read.
