    1. What are the chances that a theocratic government that preaches death to X would ever get orbital weapons?

      /sigh we have children who cant think past the next ice cream cone for leaders.

  1. “A weapon is any system capable of having a physical, chemical, biological, or psychological effect on an enemy or his assets.” — G. Harry Stine

    The difference between a weapon and a tool is primarily one of intent.

    The idea that space is, or can be, “deweaponized” is nonsense — unless we give up spaceflight altogether.

  2. What I find preposterous is the notion held by some that space is, or was, demilitarized (this claim is implicit when they say “keep space weapons-free”).

    The fact of the matter is that among the space powers, only the USA (and perhaps the EU) have ever pretended that space is, or should be, weapons free. The Russians and Chinese have never been that naive.

    The only thing that might be about to change isn’t the status of space, but the naive delusions of the West.
