Why not?

Also, seems necessary...

Build in some defensive capability into stuff in orbit...looks like the Rus have something eyeballing other folks' stuff pretty hard...

We know the Chi-Com's are up to no good too...

Dang, given my last comment...this is timely...

China’s ambitions in space pose a “powerful destabilizing force” to the U.S. economy and national security, according to Gen. Chance Saltzman, chief of space operations for the U.S. Space Force.

“Space has become a warfighting domain,” Saltzman told the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a bipartisan congressional panel, in a hearing on April 3.

“Over the last two decades, our competitors, China in particular, have invested heavily in counter space threats, kinetic and non-kinetic weapons that can deny, degrade, or destroy our satellites,” Saltzman warned.
