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.
