      Oh, the taxpayers will still pay for it. It will just never be built.

      Never say never. Somebody like you probably thought going into space would never happen. It’ll happen and it won’t hurt to be at the frontier.

              Other countries wouldn’t just be shooting down our satellites for the same reason they don’t just blow up our naval or aerial fleets. Moot point.

              Baby steps. Start small and build it up. Figure out new, more feasible weapons. Other countries are already thinking about and experimenting with space defense. Not just us.

              When your bones have been repurposed for crude oil and when all of Earth’s resources have gone dry, the people of that time will think of space military the same way we think of the Air Force.

                  Don’t let your hate for Trump blind your ability to conceptualize innovation.

                  With that logic nothing would ever be created. Think about fighter jets. In the beginning you have one. Doesn’t do much, but if you keep building eventually it becomes something really effective. Come on.

        Like everything else Drumpf does; this is a scam. Your dear leader will never implement this. It is an obvious protection racket. Reagan had Star Wars and that was never implemented because it would have cost trillions in the eighties. Another conservative grift to increase funds for the military.
