is it safe to be there? Has there been an International Treaty saying that there will be NO weapons on board any of those satellites ?

Watch the movie "Iron sky" there is a highly instructive scene about that 😉

So with megawatt military lasers coming on line, what do YOU think?

Doesn't much matter, whoever gets killed by the Trump Space Force won't effect you at all, in fact you would probably be dancing in the street, assuming you CAN dance at 80.

Ah, yes, we really NEED the Space Force, hell, any time now the Chinese will be attacking our cities with lasers.......

Here is a really crazy idea: How about doing treaty negotiations with our enemies to stop the development of super space weapons in the first place? Make space a war free zone.

Naw, the military industrial complex would never allow THAT would they.

PEACE? in SPACE? Are you NUTS? OF COURSE we need weapons in space, how else will we dominate the Earth?
