The Chinese screwed up and telegraphed their intentions way too soon. Our anti missile technology won’t take much to adapt to become anti-satellite either. What we are left with is a hole in our strategy that we have to cover, however, even with star wars and asat capabilities. We need fast and cheap launch to LEO of light to medium payloads. Time for the rocketmen to get busy. Burt Rutan has the start of an idea (along with several others btw). Heavy payloads (and geosynchronous orbits) aren’t as important and manned missions are even less important at this point.
We need a method of knocking out satellites without blowing them up with a missile. Lasers would be better. Maybe a seek and destroy orbiting vehicle outfitted with a laser. WE cant have earth orbit space being scattered with debris. Too much debris would eventually knock out all satellites in orbit, including our own.
