I'm going by what i've read on the web as this article says itself: What these people fail to realize is that there are bad guys out there," said one senior intelligence official who wants to see some of the ****satellite trackers prosecuted. *** And: Why give more help to our enemies overseas through these satellite-tracking websites?" said one congressional staffer who asked that her name not be used in this report. "But the anger of the U.S. intelligence community is a good sign." I Believe tracking has an important role to play in keeping an eye on ALL the countries who launch military sats.I think to blindly say :go ahead and up any weapon into space is nothing short of alarming.America is about to spend billions on space warfare capability,Australia signed up to the "defence sheild" program about six weeks ago. If you saw the recent Lockheed Martin post i sent Lockheed themselves were bosting about their new laser weapon their developing. This can only means Russia,China and North Korea will be excelerating their space program and developing weapons in space. Ifs's only a few years for geo sats with warheads,except to see lots of military launches over the next five years as they test these weapons. Don't take my word for theirs plenty of info on it on the web,keep watching the space industries webpages,there you'll find a hint of what their up to. regards Graham ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Molczan" <molczan@rogers.com> To: "SeeSat-L" <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Sent: Saturday, August 07, 2004 11:32 PM Subject: RE: old article - Spy satellites on demand > Graham wrote: > > > Expect them to come aknockin.! > > > > "We know China and Russia are working on lasers that can > > blind our satellites.
