The Space Force workers in Colorado will have to ask the engineers in Huntsville, AL which buttons to push.

The United States Space Force has activated its first and only unit dedicated to targeting other nations' satellites and the ground stations that support them.

Is this article 30 years old?

Good luck with that, as they say in New York. The U.S. didn't have the cojones to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon until it was conveniently out of our airspace.

Given the directed energy weapon inferno that occurred in Maui, it could not come soon enough, though I hate to think of what the space wars will bring with armies of killer satellites doing battle. Where is all that satellite debris going to fall?

Is the US Space Force even capable of reaching any portion of what we know as “outer space” by themselves? Or will they need to hitch a ride on a SpaceX vehicle? Who is going to enact these proposals they are writing up?

I remember back in the late Seventies fear and speculation about killer satellites were all over the news.   The Air Force at the time knew killer satellites were real but all they were was a bomb that could be maneuvered close to our satellites and exploded.   NBD

How about concentrating on protecting our own satellites? We depend on them far too much.

You’d think that would have been the first item on the agenda the day they opened for business.
