China Panics! COULD US Satellite LASERS REALLY DO THIS?
One day, we may all look into the sky and see satellites at war. Like land, air, sea, and electronics, Space is now officially a potential warzone. And two nations with trillion-dollar economies are already competing aggressively to dominate it — the US and China. Satellites in orbit are crucial to the smooth running of both nation’s economies and so either one that’s able to destroy opposing satellites calls checkmate. Recognizing this, both nations are building weapons with satellite-destroying-or-disrupting capabilities. These weapons could change the status quo as we know it and so are the focus of today’s video. Welcome to a tale of the battle for Space dominance. It all began with NATO in Space.
