As a semi-stealth UAV that's LEO and nuclear and/or VX weapon capable,
it's a rather ideal WMD.


You should go to the new Air Force Recruiting homepage.
They make it pretty clear that between unmanned
air/spacecraft, and space based observation the
US intends to ...own the globe.

They actually show a Space Operations Mission Manager
and a Satellite Vehicle Operator hovering over a
virtual globe as if it was their own target rich playground.

Mouseover the Space Command semi-circle
at the bottom. Looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.http://www.afspc.af.mil/pressrelease...p?id=123201029

If India and China own the Earth-moon L1(Selene L1); what other
easily accessible high ground that's offering a zero delta-V or other
great outpost/gateway potential (besides our moon/Selene) is there?
