      Look at this idiot who thinks scientists know anything about fighting. This is a job for soldiers, not eggheads. That’s what the Space Force is for.

    You know, we created a treaty decades ago to ensure that space has no business “serving US interests.”

    Hear me out on this one. Maybe, just maybe ‘forever war’ is not in the best interest of humankind. And maybe those that advocate for endless wars should be removed from power and prosecuted.

          You know how long it takes the moon to go from new to full or full to new? Just about two weeks. One fortnight.

    Finally, a front with no home advantage, and none of those pesky “strategic victory” conditions. Pure ballistics and machinery porn, just as God intended warfare to always be about.

    Who the fuck are they going to fight?

    I’m pretty sure there aren’t a lot of other people up there. The few that are have a lot of friends here in Earth that are going to be super fucking pissed.

    Also, to what end?
