A lot of unserious comments here, which is fine, there are some good jokes to be made. I just hope everyone realizes how truly serious this is. Our modern military and economy is massively reliant on satellites which could be destroyed from space easier than shooting fish in a barrel. And China would never actually have to do it. Just having the ability to criple us will give them total leverage.
I think you’re looking at MADS here.. Mutually Assured Destruction of Satellites. Not that Obama would allow us to take one of theirs out if they dare take us on, but our little X37 Space plane could be offensively equipped with weapons and/or jammers if need be. ‘Killer satellites’ is a slippery slope but I’m sure Obama will do all he can to hogtie us while helping China. It’s all about ‘evening the playing field INTERNATIONALLY too, not just domestically. By the way, IMPEACH OBAMA FOR SABOTAGING AMERICA.
The Russians had the ability to "kill" our satellites over 30 years ago. It isn't difficult at all, comparatively speaking.
