US Military Plans Space Combat
MacDork writes "Wired news is reporting that the US Air Force has documented its plans to shoot down "commercial spacecraft, neutral countries' launching pads -- even weather satellites" should the need arise. From potential Chinese militarization of space to commercial spy satellites their reasoning seems obvious, but there are just as obvious consequences of such actions. Just glancing at the PDF, I don't see any plans for the aftermath..."
Military planners need to learn some basics in international security theory. Any attempts by the US or another state to exercise total dominance in space is clearly not going to be acceptable to others (particularly other major players). In essence, a new arms race will emerge to militarize space. If such a race were to occur, the US would likely enjoy some short-lived advantages, but other countries are catching up (American power has been in relative decline for several decades now). American hubris is the greatest weakness.
Yup. It will be contracted out to Haliburton Space Janitorial Division.
