Fascinating story in the New York Times on Friday, May 17, 2024.
For me, two of the most important points are that the Pentagon expects to deploy major space weapons in Earth orbit by 2026 and spending in this area could be hundreds of millions of dollars annually but no one outside of government knows this with certainty.
It’s also telling that Gen. Saltzman canceled his interview with the Times reporter after aides to the general were told that he “would be asked about specific warfighting tools.”
So, I guess we can assume “warfighting tools” is code for secret space weapons.
