The chief of the US Space Force has warned that China is putting military capabilities into space at a “mind-boggling” pace, significantly increasing the risk of warfare in orbit.

“The number of different categories of space weapons that [China has] created and … the speed with which they’re doing it is very threatening,” said General Chance Saltzman, head of space operations at the US military’s recently created force tasked with protecting American interests in space.

    No, it’s space administration. And they are the ones who actually know a thing about how spaceflight works, unlike this guy, evidently.

      This guy probably knows a bit more about what’s going on on the Chinese Space Station than you do.

      Edit: a downvote with no response is an admission that you don’t know what you’re talking about and just are making shit up.

        Haha! To prove that it wasn’t me, I just downvoted you. You are now on -1.

        Sorry dude, you assumed too much there. I’m in Europe, and don’t go around down voting people in the middle of the night.

        Anyway, your point. It’s irrelevant, since we were talking about NASA vs. the space rangers or whatever they’re called. Not This Guy vs. me.
