:russ:

Folks watching too many Avengers movies and can no longer decipher what's real and what isn't.

"I've seen space pirates! Ugly fellow with a jewelled glove!" :mjlol:

Now... to be serious the more sinister side to this is that governments may have clear proof that extraterrestrial life exists that may be a threat to humanity and they are slowly trying to ease us into accepting it. :ohhh:

: to take or appropriate by piracy

I'm getting the feeling, many of you have no clue how integral(and vulnerable) our satellite systems are... and how impactful control of space can be right now.:hubie:

Russia/China established their space force in 2015 :sas1:we are actually behind.:sas2:


SUCH A BAD FAITH ARGUMENT.

In that scenario a space force is any hacker worth his salt.

You are arguing like Russia and China have armadas of humans in Space ready to raise the skull and crossbones and fukk up US satellites. That's patent bullshyt.

:what:China established a space force in 2014 dedicated to aerospace operations... Russia followed suit in 2015 and you are saying there is no need/its crazy for us to begin ...:snoop: actually forget it, you cant see past your Trump/GoP hate.
I wish Obama established this... we wouldn't even be having this discussion.


edit:

The PLA’s intent focusing on beefing up its space capabilities has also been noted in Chinese-language military writings. For example, one recent paper translated by the U.S. government noted the importance of integrating space and cyber capabilities. The study said that “cyber warfare is an act of war that utilizes space technology; it combines space technology and cyber technology and maintains and seizes the control of cyberspace.” The report added that “space will surely be the main battlefield of cyber warfare.” As defined in the report, space-based cyber warfare “ensures its own control at will while at the same time uses cyberspace to disable, weaken, disrupt, and destroy the enemy’s cyber actions or cyber installations.”

A different 2005 PLA publication also emphasized that the PLA would target America’s GPS satellites in the event of a conflict. “Eliminating two groups of GPS satellites can prevent GPS satellites from providing navigation service around the clock,” the 2005 PLA report said. “The effect of dropping these GPS satellites on the navigation accuracy of GPS satellites is quite obvious.”

Notably, the Yomiuri Shimbun article mentions the new Aerospace Force unit as an afterthought in a larger article about the new Joint Operations Command Center the PLA has established as a way to strengthen joint operations between different military services. This is significant because joint operations and space capabilities
were both emphasized as central features of the Chinese military doctrine of winning “local wars under modern, high-tech conditions” (later changed to “local wars under informationized conditions”).

Of course, China has been steadily expanding the PLA’s space capabilities, including
conducting an anti-satellite test (ASAT) earlier this year as well as last year. It also conducted an ASAT test in 2007 that destroyed a defunct Chinese weather satellite.

We can't even fund NASA but they want to militarize space? We don't even have a shuttle program anymore and we share rockets and launch sites with other countries. The richest people on the planet can barely privately fund their projects and we're worried about non-state actors in space? Really?

The air Force already deals with space related military operations. We have anti satellite missile systems etc.

Party of small government keeps expanding government with new unnecessary agencies

How? Start up costs can't be that much. The Earth is fl..... ight inducive. :troll:

But Space Pirates? Really? I'm only going along with this if this program creates a Master Chief or Samus Aran. Otherwise, :camby:.
They’ll be stealing Black kids and giving their parents flash clones...
