It is a great idea, and I'm not sure why we don't have orbital military platforms already. Seems like a no-brainer, and we've been talking about it ever since the first man-made object was launched into space.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

That, of course, has not stopped our enemies from researching space-based weapons. The problem is that, thanks to previous presidential administrations, the United States is at least a decade behind in that department.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Sparko View Postwell if we do it then so will the chinese and the russians. Do you really want nukes pointed at you from space? Or even kinetic weapons which could destroy whole cities without radiation fallout? Space should remain international and peaceful.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Originally posted by Charles View PostThey could suffer from the same divisiveness that plagues humanity. However I sometimes image the aliens discovered us long ago but really take no interest in talking or connecting with us since they find us,evenespecially me, too stupid.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
