LOL 70% of shuttle launches were military payloads The USSR fired on the Columbia with a ground based laser in 1984 We've been creeping on Russian satellites since they were Soviet We first tested air-launched ASAT missiles in 1982 Yet this article has exactly fuckall to say about China's new Fractional Orbital Bombardment System, the Soviet deployment of which led to the Outer Space Treaty. Which China has not signed, by the way. And Trump let the INF lapse.
