Are there going to be light sabers?

Let's start the arguments: Which is better Star Trek or Star Wars?

Hard to say. We build weapons we don't need for wars we shouldn't be fighting to kill people for reasons we aren't sure of.

So when does the Pentagon actually step up and do it? Or are they jizzing their uniform pants at the thought of an even BIGGER budget?

Yup. But that doesn't stop it from being real.

Y'know, I am fairly sure that the US was one of the signers of a treaty NOT to militarise space. Is Twitler ignoring that the same way he's ignored every other treaty the US has ever signed?

Exactly. I don't believe that a meaningful victory can be achieved any more. Not sure why you'd want one.

Bands used to do the same thing on the landing in St. Louis. Back when the landing was important.

If you sent a dozen rockets up there and all they did was dump a tonne of steel ball-bearings into orbit you would stop anything from getting up there for a century. The impact of one on anything travelling at velocity would be like firing a .50 cal round point blank. Actually, make them ceramic or glass and impossible to detect. And some cretin will do just that one day.
