The US has every intention of deploying weapons in space, ...

What is interesting is not this statement, but that it has been more
than 40 years since the US first tested a nuclear weapon in space.

Why are new reporters just now paying attention to a "U.S. 'negation'
policy in space" that has been around for two generations?  And why
are they paying attention to the ability

    to hit land and sea-based targets anytime, anywhere. 

which was a stated goal of the Star Wars project a generation ago?  (I
still remember vividly diagrams of the lasers that would be put into
the Space Shuttle's cargo bay.)

Why this surprise?  It is as if the writers have not paid attention to
any military development since 1944.

You don't have to be a space opera science fiction reader to have
heard about space warfare or space-to-planet bombardment ... or do
you?
