    They use our tax dollars to put on these juvinile, comic-book style charades.
  • @vinomsikol4681
    "If" Russia 🇷🇺 deployed these type of weaponry into orbit, I'm 100% sure they're not the first to do it😂😂😂😂
  • @climber950
    Maybe the biggest offenders can work to clean up and de-orbit all the space trash they’ve left up there.
  • @StonedTrooper52
    And everyone was making fun of trump for starting the space force
  • @Ohn
    Oh so the whole space force thing isn’t dumb after all?
  • @michaelh2970
    No one had ever thought this possible? I figured you all had it covered. I guess not. I thought about this in 1983 or 84.

    I've often wondered when we'll see a Waste Management rocket launch with a space garbage truck type satellite that collects debris until full, then sets up for a self-destruct path into the Pacific, mostly or fully burning up upon entry. Maybe the next project for Elon.
  • Well that's it, pentagon needs more money The homes sales dropped: Pentagon says it's a national security issue we need more money. There's been an error our our accounting amd we have a surplus: it's a national security issue and we need more money
  • @Dtouchet72
    I'm pretty sure we have the same weapon...the exact weapon that he's talking about!
  • @joewlaschin6970
    He said "sustainable space" "Team America Fuck Yeah" (now in space) lmao
  • Tbh any country could possibly do that. All satellites are within the earths atmosphere.
  • @LarsonPetty
    You'd think they'd be more interested in countering that group of teenagers that are derailing their war machine with $50 Walmart drones.
