Default Web News: Pentagon Preps for War in Space

An Air Force report is giving what analysts call the most detailed picture since the end of the Cold War of the Pentagon's efforts to turn outer space into a battlefield.

For years, the American military has spoken in hints and whispers, if at all, about its plans to develop weapons in space. But the U.S. Air Force Transformation Flight Plan (PDF) changes all that. Released in November, the report makes U.S. dominance of the heavens a top Pentagon priority in the new century. And it runs through dozens of research programs designed to ensure that America can never be challenged in orbit -- from anti-satellite lasers to weapons that "would provide the capability to strike ground targets anywhere in the world from space."

Odd thing..I found a obscure government website about this time last year..can't find it again..but it was a new Military branch.

What I remember about it was that it basically looked like a branch of the Air Force spun off to become it's own agency.

I knew right then..it would only be a matter of time..I was surprised that it was never in the news..it was very low key, slid by everyones radar

Forgot all about it till I saw this post, If i can find it again I'll post a link.

Was called something like SDA (Space Defence Agency) Not sure about the name, but I am sure it was a new military branch..they even had a picture of the patches for the uniforms.

EDIT: Found something on it..but the link they have is broken..Hmmm Sounds like a conspiracy!

USSPACECOM

Also look HERE..all links to it are BROKEN!!!!
