@arstechnica It's absolutely insane to take human wars into space. Before you know it, satellites will be blown by weapons.

In a word, shit.

@arstechnica What could possibly go wrong?

@arstechnica mark this day. When it hits the fan, we're going to hear "nobody could have know".

Everyone. We know.

This isn't going to end well.

I thought there was an international treaty that said no weapons allowed in space.

@arstechnica
Having weapons platforms in space is the first step to getting your satellites blown up ✨

@arstechnica There’s the trigger for Kessler Syndrome.
