I want to know from practical viewpoints from the perspective that this idea maybe commonly excepted knowledge one day, that the barriers between space and the surface of the earth are now bridged by armed conflict.
I think that now our species is getting closer to truely carrying armaments into orbit.
One such fear was nuclear weapons on orbital based platforms, which in theory would cut delivery times in half.
Other weapons systems that have been mentioned for orbital deployment are things such as devices that can launch chaff and debris to destroy other satelites to microwave beams for missile detection and disabiling of their potential warheads.
It can be certain that the first to place any weapons into space could be both the wealthiest countries, and the ones with the biggest space programs and private weapon industry establishments.
I posted a similar thread like this before, but I think I may not have elaborated enough.
I am NOT talking about "SPACE SHIPS", or anything of that nature, or anything holding b rated movie qualities.
I am aproaching this question from a PRACTICAL standpoint ,and of what is likely to come FIRST, in this field, for I firmly believe that it is only a matter of time, or short decades before space is used for more than just high altitude
reconnaissance.
