The United States Space Arsenal

Posted by samzenpus on from the Q-36-explosive-space-modulator dept.

ntmokey writes "When China tested a missile on its own satellite in January, the nation's aggressive statement immediately raised eyebrows among the world's other space-faring nations. Popular Mechanics looks at the implications of a conflict in space — including debris that could render space unusable for decades — and examines the United States' own space arsenal."

    Inferior when measured against what? Oh wait, that must be US. As in, the USA. And last I checked, we're still here (just got to keep it safe from Hillary and Captain haircut).

    That's no troll. That's a joke. A good one even. I like the moderation system for the most part but it does allow for a sort of cowardice that wavers between craven and pathetic. If someone says something you disagree with, say something back, don't just mod him down. That's no different from Bill O'Reilly cutting a guest's mike when he's at a loss for words. Weak.
