RE: Space Warfare - The Weapons Systems and The Targets
That’s all mankind needs is another venue for warfare. It’s sad, with all the other helpful ways such a budget could be allocated like oh I don’t know. The continued funding of social security for example. Why worry about future warfare when we can’t even provide adequate support for the current generations. Lots of well researched and presented information here. It was a pleasure to read thanks for sharing.
I don't know why they are going this way. Once you fight a war in space then all of that left over debris will make new space missions too hazardous. Sigh.
I also recall seeing a show on science channel that covered space based kinetic energy weapons. They proposed a solid rod of tungsten because it could withstand the immense heat from reentry. Sure it would obliterate it’s target at many times the speed of sound but the rod would also imbed itself several kilometers into the earths crust. Who knows what side effects that would cause.
