Star Wars: the nuclearisation and weaponisation of space

[mastermg]

Quote:A good post. I can't see how the military can avoid a minimal presence in space, but cannot see the further contamination of the whole planet as an acceptable risk for highly-radioactive power units.

It's a good reason for putting a permanent base on the Moon. Future radioactive devices (for deep space exploration) can be launched safely from there.

And while "sensible" is a possible option, an orbital space-junk and satellite rationalisation program should be agreed upon....

Yep, the space is the new frontier for the military in the future. Good post indeed.
