so the news of the day is that the US has launched a new secret shuttle, which contains a new secret weapon.

I'm not surprised that something like this has happened. Just because there's no weaponizing of space as of yet, does not mean that someone will do their damned best at doing some sneaky shit in the future. Having a small shuttle with backup-satelites ready to be launched within hours of an event can be vital for any nation's defense systems. The theory of using small shuttles as space marine vessel, being able to hit any target in the world within the hour, is also a fascinating theory. It will be hell to get through any international law, but its fascinating.

Obama has been on a tirade recently. I'm not surprised either.

Wait... creating paranoia of space weapons? No wonder there's people who don't think Obama is American... they pulled him out of a time bubble from th USSR. What's this... my fourth Obama rip comparing him to a soviet? This is rediculous... he and Tigers Woods are the reasons I can't bare to watch the news anymore.

And your spelling and grammar are the reasons I can't bear to visit Revora as often any more.

I thought that was what Reagan was aiming for? Militarising space? Didn't he spend a colossal fortune and achieve nothing?
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

No he spent a lot and the Soviet Union fell.
