it is in the u.s., do they also have satellite based weapons? u.s. commanders will not say. i think we have options on the table, but i would prefer to not get into those. i don t think i want to see what we have, and we don t. does the united states have offensive capabilities in space already? i won t talk about about what capabilities we may, or may not have. i will say that with the chinese, and the russians have done, are irresponsible, and, frankly, do not help in terms many in the military, and congress, believe it is time to the classify some of america s offensive capabilities in space. i would like for our adversaries to know what we can do. there are some things that we can do that, i think, would children through seattle for aggression if they knew more about our capabilities. for decades, the u.s. air

keeping watch over america s military and spy satellites is the top priority at this classified space force off-centre. more than 70% of middle larry satellite come from here. everything from nuclear command control orders to presidential communications, down to a coast guard cutter, a submarine, even tactical units on the ground. how vulnerable are americas satellites? the u.s. says both russia and china have intentionally demonstrated offensive military capabilities in space. targeting and destroying their own satellites, scattering thousands of pieces of debris across low earth orbit, posing a risk to other satellites and forcing the space station to adjust its position to avoid getting hit. indeed, the space station was threatened. which by the way not only have australis in, it has cosmonauts on it. the u.s. says, what it
military industrial complex and nasa, and space engineers, and scientists, right? there is a two way street between discoveries made in the military that could benefit nasa and scientists and discoveries made by scientists that could benefit the military. when you read the history of science and war, the relationship between physicists and warfare may be well-known because they make weapons, and they may know how to make the weapon, especially in the nuclear era the argument that is, if you re the u.s., you would like to be the one that controls the rules. another way to say it is, if china controls the lunar space and we need permission to get to the moon and pay atoll or whatever, i don t it s not clear how much we would take kindly to that if that s correct. we all want to be optimistic about space. captains log start date you grew up watching star
