This is jsut going too far. How can the US go around trying to stop everyone else from developing WMD, then turn around and look at doing something like this...
And as if anyone needs something like this!

Haha, imagine when extra terrestrials come visit. What a sight they will be greeted by. Us humans blowing the shit out of our own planet from above. We’re a clever bunch aren’t we :/

"If you can imagine some rational observers from Mars looking at this curious species down here, I don’t think they’d put very high odds on survival—another generation or two. In fact, it’s kind of miraculous that we’ve come along this far.
Militarization of space could very well doom the species. It’s being pushed very hard.
When the Bush administration took over they just made it more extreme. They moved from the Clinton doctrine of control of space to what they call ownership of space, meaning - their words - “instant engagement anywhere” or unannounced destruction of any place on earth."

Its getting way out of control, how can they justify this sort of weapons development?

Yeah, the ideas been around for a while, but i guess its a lot easier to see it happening now than 50 years ago...

Plus, now we have the technology to actually do it. Before it was all just fantasy. Tempts the weak.

aspiring countries, here's what to do.
Build your own space program by going back in time to circa late 1940's, early 50's, and kidnap/steal Nazi Rocket Scientists and Astro-Physicists (Ex: Wernher von Braun, etc.).
Ohh yeah, have vision as well.

dudez, hahahhhh, no offense, but over 50% of the world can't build proper sanitation systems or an underground metro, let alone a rocket with weaponry.

no to sound too glum, but the US and China are both capable of doing this. Thats all it would take, or even just one...
- uberdesigner0
china can't do it yet, which is why the US would be rushing to do it first. it's really an insane and frightening prospect, but then again so is nuclear weaponry. it will happen eventually by whomever is able to do it first.
