China's foreign ministry accused Washington of "preparing for war in outer space" and urged it to stop expanding military capabilities in orbit; Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia believes "space must be free of any weapon" and called for complete demilitarization of space.
“We oppose any arms race in outer space or any attempts to weaponize it or turn it into a war zone.”

The United States has deployed weapons in space and will use them to defend American forces, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said – the first public acknowledgment of such capabilities in orbit and a deliberate signal to those that pose potential threats in the domain. Meink did

This incompetent administration has military weapons in orbit! That should really be of concern to everyone on Earth!

reddit loves to talk doomer about Kessler syndrome, but the reality is more complicated. Most Kessler scenarios occur in low Earth orbit where debris moves a lot faster hence making it much easier to accidentally set off a collision cascade. But objects in orbit there only have a few years before they decay without refueling (which is why Starlink…

There is the Outer Space Treaty (1967), which forbids placing "nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner", but you can get around that by saying that it's just a conventional weapon, not nuclear or WMD. If it's for space to space combat, you could say…

China has warned against an “arms race” as the US government confirmed the presence of weapons in space for the first time. “The US has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action,” a US Space Force spokesman said on Monday, without providing specifics. He added: “Space control encapsulates…

As the "Space Force" of the USA have confirmed they have "deployed weapons in orbit" ( https://www. france24.com/en/americas/20260 914-us-space-force-confirms-weapons-deployed-in-space-for-first-time ), one could ask themselves what kind of weapons they would be. Knowing the US, I'm betting on some kind of over-engineered automatic rifle (in…

Kessler Syndrome isn't an issue really. The majority of artificial satellites today are in low Earth orbit with upcoming generations potentially even reaching as low as ultra low Earth orbit. That's where signal strength is ideal for most modern use cases. And it's also low enough that if something collides with the satellite the resulting debris…

Space really should be a neutral ground like Antarctica. Especially since the consequences of space debris might trigger the Kessler effect [1], denying humanity future access to low-earth orbit for the considerable future.1.

That’s exactly what he’s saying I think. This is just history repeating itself as the evolution of the strategic landscapes shifts “once again”. Everyone is moving to a new kind of parity, not a new excuse for war. The business of running your individual state/republic/federation is more valuable than fighting with someone else over theirs.

Though I should mention, many semi-automatic guns would need to be manually cycled in space anyways, because the actions are usually tuned for atmospheric conditions on Earth as well as gravity. I doubt you'd have many issues, what matters is the difference in pressure between the outside of the gun and the inside of the gun, and given the inside…

It would actually only need to be around 20ft long with a 1ft diameter to penetrate 100ft of bedrock and create a blast equal to around 30-45 tons of TNT. You could make much much smaller ones that do significantly damage equivalent to a lot of bombs we drop today. That was the Cold War design for project Thor. Kinetic weapons dropped from orbit…

As long as they're OK with China and other countries having space weapons then all is fine.Everyone is equal with - they all have nukes in space sitting over each other's countries waiting to drop.This is fine.
