Vice President Harris on Monday announced the U.S. will avoid testing anti-satellite missiles, urging other nations to follow the lead of the Biden administration after a Russian test last November created a field of debris in space.
Harris announced the self-imposed ban on the tests, known as direct-ascent anti-satellite missile testing, during a visit to Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Administration officials expressed hope that the policy would become an international norm for other nations to abide by, calling the anti-satellite missile tests “one of the most pressing threats to the security and sustainability of space.”

Pretty sure the China people did this first.
Just one more colossal WTF moment!
Everybody in China and Russia getting a “covid” bonus...
Same freaking kind of costly (in terms of American lives) decision made by Wilson, FDR, Truman, and LBJ...
Well thank goodness someone isn’t..err 🤔
This is like unilateral disarmament. A sign of mental deficiency at the highest level of government.
More unilateral disarmament. We end up tying our OWN arms behind our backs, while the Chinese and others continue to deliver repeated fetches upside the head.
Ain’t no way to run a railroad.
Let’s hear it for our next dumb-dumb President, Jan. 21, 2023!
Hopefully, we have deployed killer satellites and have anti-satellite missiles deployed. Computer simulation software is highly capable, so I’m good with that.
That means it’s already a done deal.
Soon she’ll say if we are attacked we will not defend ourselves at the risk of harming immigrants.
It’s amazing this beyotch even knows what a satellite is.
“It’s amazing this beyotch even knows what a satellite is.”
She knows what a missile is.
35 years in the nuclear and aerospace industries has convinced me that sometimes it is capable, and sometimes it is completely bogus.
And, the only way to know the difference for sure is a real test with real hardware.
LOL. You mean like Willie Brown? 😀🤗
Politically connected meat missile?
Harris doesn’t want her return flight from Pluto shot down.
“..U.S. will avoid testing anti-satellite missiles, urging other nations to follow the lead of the Biden administration...”
I can’t think of any nation following Biden’s lead in anything!!
I doubt she has any idea what she is talking about.
“..only way to know the difference for sure is a real test with real hardware..”
The only fact of which we can be certain; computer simulation is often wrong.
Check our weather computers. How many paths do hurricanes predict?
What about our health scientific computers estimating the number of COVID deaths?
and on and on!!!
