GlacialGlimpse+FollowThe Space Race Is Back — But This Time It’s Tactical 🛰️🚀While satellites used to be about weather and TV signals, today's space assets are full-blown military assets. 💡 Consider this: China’s Shijian-21 reportedly has robotic arms capable of grappling enemy satellites. Russia’s Cosmos-2543 shadowed a U.S. satellite and released a high-velocity object in orbit. The U.S. launched Space Force, developing counter-space capabilities and deploying satellite constellations with resilience and redundancy. Space is no longer the "high ground"—it’s the front line. Disabling GPS, communications, or ISR satellites in war could paralyze a modern military. America’s ability to protect and harden space infrastructure might one day decide what happens on the battlefield below. #Military #SpaceForce #StrategicAdvantage111Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowWho Should Save Us From Killer Asteroids?NASA’s been our go-to for spotting and stopping dangerous asteroids, but with their budget drama, the U.S. Space Force (with way more cash) might take over. Some experts say defending Earth is a military job now, but others warn that trusting the military could freak people out and spark global drama. Meanwhile, NASA’s new NEO Surveyor mission is still on track—unless more budget cuts hit. Who do you trust to keep Earth safe from space rocks? #Science #SpaceForce #NASA70Share
