| Jan 31, 2020 at 6:04 | comment | added | Magic Octopus Urn | @AnthonyX that was written in 2018, I have since learned a lot more and retract that statement entirely :). Especially after a few other questions I asked. | |

| Mar 17, 2014 at 22:59 | comment | added | LocalFluff | Spy and communication satellites are certainly components in weapons systems. If hacking computers is "cyber war" then such satellites would pretty much be the entire weapons system. Dr. Paul D. Spudis at LPI has claimed that Chang'E 2 which maneuvered from Lunar orbit to a lagrange point to an asteroid was a Chinese demonstration that they can go from satellite to satellite and destroy them at will, but he might be paranoid. thespaceshow.com/detail.asp?q=2173 | |

| Mar 17, 2014 at 14:10 | comment | added | TildalWave | To my surprise, this doesn't seem to be a duplicate of any previous questions. I thought it might be, but for the better of me I can't find any matching questions. The closest one seems to be Is the Nudelman-Rikhter gun installed on Zvezda module? Also related: What types of items are prohibited on space missions? And food for thought: Top 10 Space Weapons and Wiki on Weapons in Space | |
