Pearl Harbor in Space

[Far West]

A man I met who works in IT security for the US Air Force- contractor, retired Air Force. He said that Trump was right in having a Space Force, and putting money into that area because this is the next threat.

This man was the one who was going to go back and resign over the vaccine mandate after he had been told to take his vacation, think about it, get vaccinated and come back.

I would love to speak with him again and hear what his thought are on exactly what he was telling me was to happen, Putin or Xi, sending weapons into space to threaten us, 2 months ago.

There are now all these little pieces of debris plinking all over up there... circling the earth forever at bullet speeds.

'Satellite Killer': Putin opens up new military front in space​

Washington had not been informed of the anti-satellite [ASAT] operation in advance, and news of the explosion in space reverberated through the Pentagon and White House, causing fury and some disbelief.

This was just the fourth time a satellite has been taken out by a missile from the ground. Only the US, Russia, China and India have demonstrated the capability.

In doing so Mr Putin sent a clear message that, in any future conflict, he can destroy satellites the US military relies on to communicate and guide its own bombs.

A Russian missile creates enough space junk to pose risk to astronauts for years

The U.S. condemned the test, which blasted a cloud of debris into orbit, forcing astronauts aboard the ISS to spend two hours inside spacecraft that could return them to Earth in an emergency.

As the debris from the anti-satellite test spreads around the world, it could knock some of the satellites out, Jonathan McDowell told Insider

Since it affected the space station, which is in a fairly low orbit around 240 miles up, I'm assuming the GPS orbits are OK at 12,500 miles.

Can you imagine the impact to our society if the GPS was forced down? GPS timing is used all over the communications network to sync timing signals.

We need a strong leader now and what do we have? Mr. No Mean Tweets.

If others have the technology to take out our satellites then you can bet we have the same capabilities to return the favor. It's not a new threat and only gets more prevalent each year as we add more satellites and "stuff" into space.

Maybe....Maybe not... Behold the Caladamfornia brain trust in full glory.

I am so effing tired of the word EQUALITY and INEQUALITY:

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021

Washington, D.C. – Today, California Representative Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) introduced the No Militarization of Space Act, to abolish the costly and unnecessary Space Force. Huffman was joined in the introduction by Representatives Mark Pocan (WI-02), Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04), Rashida Tlaib (MI-13), and Maxine Waters (CA-43).

“It’s time we turn our attention back to where it belongs: addressing urgent domestic and international priorities like battling COVID-19, climate change, and growing economic inequality. Our mission must be to support the American people, not spend billions on the militarization of space.”

“The Space Force has quickly become a taxpayer boondoggle that adds layers of bureaucracy and waste to an already-bloated defense budget. Representative Huffman’s legislation would eliminate the Space Force before it’s too late to do so, possibly saving taxpayers billions of dollars in the process. NTU applauds Representative Huffman for introducing this bill,” said Andrew Lautz, Director of Federal Policy at National Taxpayers Union.

“Outer space must be de-militarized and kept as a realm strictly for peaceful exploration," stated Kevin Martin, President of Peace Action. “The Space Force is an absurd, duplicative waste of taxpayer dollars, and richly deserves the ridicule it has garnered. Peace Action, the largest grassroots peace and disarmament organization in the US, commends and endorses Rep. Huffman's ‘No Militarization of Space Act’ to abolish the Space Farce.”
