Post; Any Space based Weapon Systems Out There?


It seems to me that that a General once said you need to hold the high ground to win battles. Well the highest ground i know of is space, or rather the orbit area around the earth. Sounds like a good idea: but I almost never hear of anyone that is putting any type of space based weapon system in orbit.

Is there a reason why? Even if there is a treaty, there must still be some sort of wiggle room in it to exploit.

anyone care to shed some light on this?
