Re: It's very risky to knock out satellites belonging to a nuclear power. n/t
That's true. In many cases you might want them to see what you are doing...For Treaty compliance, to show that you are not on a war footing, etc...
But that doesn't mean that anti-sat tech should be stopped. Only that it should be used carefully.
In many regards, the existence of anti-sat technology could be seen as a deterant since if one nuclear power were squaring off against another, the threat of being blind would scare the heck out of both sides.
