https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/russia-putin-china-xi-space-kamala-harris-rebecca-grantWith Space Force service members arrayed behind her for the big speech, Harris announced the U.S. would halt "destructive satellite tests," where your missile blows up your own, old satellite on orbit. "These tests are dangerous and we will not conduct them," said Harris. Then she called on all nations including China and Russia to join the ban.
Here’s the kicker: the U.S. has no plans to blow up satellites. The only true American anti-satellite test took place in 1985. It was actually a pretty cool event, involving an Air Force F-15 fighter and a special missile. Then in 2008, the U.S. shot down a broken spy satellite, carefully timing the impact so the chunks would burn up in the atmosphere.
Putin and Xi are laughing at her. China doesn’t do arms control. Besides, China has plans to dominate space. China responded on Tuesday by inviting all UN members to its space station and flooding party mouthpiece People’s Daily with pictures of the three Chinese astronauts who just returned to Earth on Apr. 13.
As for Russia, I doubt responsible behavior in space is top of Putin’s priority list. Also, Russia blew up a satellite on orbit in Nov. 15, 2021.
