The Dozen Space Weapon Myths

Posted by Hemos on from the look-up-project-avalon dept.

Thanks to Disowned Sky for finding a good debunking piece on space based weapon systems. Slightly disheartening, because I really want to have solar energy satellites that are also lasers. The article does a good job of looking further afield at nations besides the United States efforts in this area.

    The article seems to fly in the face of the left's beliefs. I predict many anti U.S./Bush screeds.

    No, I'm not trolling or baiting. Just a prediction.

    Well the Chinese then should just zap all our satellites from space then, because clearly many of our satellites are an attack system, and any and all such systems should be banned, and destroyed on launch.. Would you go for that? Or is U.S. somehow excempt because we are "God's country" or we have "freedom" and so on?
