The U.S. government will no longer conduct anti-satellite missile tests, making it the first nation to enact such a ban, Vice President Harris announced Monday. The Biden administration is setting the self-imposed ban as part of a goal to make it an 'international norm for responsible behavior in space,' Harris said. The new declaration comes after Russia in November conducted an anti-satellite missile test to destroy its Cosmos-1408 satellite, a soviet-era spacecraft that's been in orbit since the 1980s. The explosion generated a cloud of at least 1,500 pieces of trackable debris that threatened the International Space Station.

So..... the Biden regime is ceding space to China and Russia. The Hunter Biden investments are really paying off.

If all the satellites were taken down, I suppose we would be back to low speed dial up modems using land lines and AOL 25? Probably park your smart phone too. Not a pretty picture.

Sure, announce to our enemies that they can shoot down our satellites, but we won't shoot down theirs. Idiots.

I am surprised Joe doesn’t want to strip the Stars and Stripes off the flag leaving nothing but white. It certainly would be befitting the old reprobate’s governing philosophy. We have surrendered everything else, why not make it official? Honestly, if this guy is not reigned in soon, I do not see how we can make it three more years. He is a disaster and I fully believe it is not because of his mental deficiencies, this is all by design. Whether it be his decision alone or his puppet masters, we get the same horrific results. Biden and his cabal have taken a wrecking ball to our Republic unimpeded to the ever loving shame of the Republican leadership.

That's like not wanting to disturb the beautiful Belgium landscape along the Marne with unsightly trenches to impede the Schlieffen plan.
We need to develop space garbage collection.

Is this part of a plan to dismantle the Space Force simply because it was a Trump initiative? This is stupid beyond words. Who willingly gives up the high ground in any conflict?

This is just virtue signaling for their leftist base. We have conducted a small number of such tests and do not need to conduct any more. Shooting down satellites is trivial. They are in known locations on a known path and known velocity at all times, have no defenses and are not stealthy or able to dodge.
China and Russia no longer need to conduct any such tests either.

Remember when talk of "space" was the hugest point of national pride?
Now it's mocked and dismissed.

What a stupid woman, revealing military test plans. I'm sure Russia and China will follow that example. Now I suspect the real reason that 5.56 and 9mm ammunition suddenly became abundant on store shelves this year, they probably ordered Soldiers and Marines to cut out the target practice so they wouldn't offend anybody by making them feel threatened.

Does our dolt of a VP even know what satellites are and where they're located. After all the Cackling One isn't the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer.

FTA ... The Biden administration is setting the self-imposed ban as part of a goal to make it an 'international norm for responsible behavior in space,' Harris said.
No they're not. They're doing it because the Chinese are launching satellites.

Because they don't want the USA to have a strong military defense capability. Especially in space.
Dems steadily disarm the USA, every chance they get. Always.

Most data travels over buried and undersea fiber optic cables. However modern GPS systems are dependent on satellites.
Biden doesn't intend to defend the US. He will just give the enemy anything they want as he did in Afghanistan.

Here we go again ... more tree hugging, liberal granola-eating, hand-holding Kumbaya singing, KoolAId drinker's wishful thinking of creating a unicorn-filled peaceful perfect utopia! It does not create a blissful utopia but a weakness that other enemy nations will exploit. Where do we get these dumb asses?
