Weird Russian Stuff in Space By Brian Simpson

     Perhaps it is fake news, perhaps it is not, but there is wide concern that the Russians may have a killer satellite in space that could fry US, and Australian IT, the internet and all that jazz:

“The U.S. State Department raised concerns about a mysterious Russian satellite orbiting space in a “very abnormal” manner, according to Christian Davenport, the author of The Space Barons. “We don’t know for certain what it is and there is no way to verify it,” Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance Yleem Poblete said at a conference in Switzerland on Aug. 14. The government official also indicated the satellite could be used a weapon to take out U.S. systems (like GPS, internet and telephones) in space. Davenport said a spacecraft capable of interfering with what he calls “the eyes and ears of the U.S. military and the intelligence community” should be a of grave concern. “If there is a spacecraft out there in orbit, it could go up to U.S. satellites -- national security satellites that we are so dependent on for warfare,” Davenport said during an interview on FOX Business’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight” on Thursday. In 2007, China fired a missile 537 miles above the Earth, hitting one of its own satellites. Vice President Mike Pence called the action a “highly provocative demonstration of China’s growing capability to militarize space” while announcing the Pentagon plans to launch a Space Force as the sixth branch of the U.S. military.”

     If the news is not fake then humanity has entered an exciting new era of war in space, satisfying all of the fan boys of Star Wars. Now the entire universe is open for humans to destroy one and other, which they say is “progress.”
