Newton’s Third Law of motion is the proof that a weapon fired from a spacecraft in one direction would automatically propel the spacecraft in the opposite direction.

Just like crypto, there is no real need for it unless you're trying to hide something.

That’s true, but wouldn’t it be more efficient to move something in space to get it to its target faster and then drop it I mean things orbit faster in space than they do traveling across the world so a space weapon would use less fuel to get to its target right ? Versus an ICBM, which requires you to use fuel until you get to your target and while it might not seem like it’s that much fuel in the long run how much are you actually saving by using orbit to get you to your target versus using fuel to get you to your target?

Yo Neil. That ballistic missile you fired travels 45 minutes is going to go 13000 miles. The one from space??? 100 miles in 24 seconds. Google says ballistic missles can go 15000 mph.

Also, what if a satellite malfunctions? Wouldnt a weopen be good to turn it into smaller peices?

I like Neil, but he believes he is smarter than he is and has closed his mind to many possibilities because he really believes the BS that has been fed to him. The problem is that our understanding of science is ever evolving until we understand it all, which will be never. The more we learn about quantum physics the more we don't know and the more sci-fi becomes reality.

Balisstic rods do as much damage as a nuke, can't be detected, and can't be intercepted.

[Nobleheart]

Easy to hit other satellites and disrupt communications though.
BUILD THE SATELLITE NUKES.

[bigguy]

they want to put lazers in space to knock out the nukes while in space

[daviddyke]

This guy is one of the biggest idiots in the entire scientific community and does them no credit

As smart as this man is he should not be talking about staff he does not understan
