    The militarization of space has not faced any opposition.

    It will be an interesting time.

      It’s a money sink of galactic proportions, and the USA is basically out of money. No one else is opposing because they are letting the US sink itself at this point

        Denying your opponent the use of space, be it Low Earth Orbit or points beyond in cislunar space, is hardly trivial. You would notice if the GPS, weather and communication functions of Earth’s satellite swarm were denied you. China and Russia understand this well, no matter how many people here may be stuck in their blinkered, reactionary opinion that “space is a waste of money”.
