The Chinese asat test changed nothing??? You have got to be kidding me.

No, just shows that you know nothing
For starters, it means just about any large asset in orbit is now considered
vulnerable.
Always have been since the Russians tested their ASATs. They still
have theirs

It also shows our asat strategy is now obsolete, as every time
we shoot down some satellite, the debris will steadily make our asat
capabilities less effective.
Always knows, nothing new here

Our entire space strategy has to be changed.
nope

We will now focus on putting up much smaller and easier to replace space
assets.

Not true, the Chinese threat hasn't changed policy since the policy
already took into account threat from ASAT's already

Such as the 'transformer' idea in this thread. No longer can we
envision placing large weapons platforms in space, they will have to
be ground based as anything in orbit is vulnerable.

What platforms? They are illegal

All this means that the Moon is now far more important with our
space strategy and especially surveillance for missile defense.
Since the Moon, ground based, can protect those assets better
than in orbit.

Wrong, The moon is too far for surveillance and it only see 1/3 of
the earth at a time, not to mention the 24 hr it takes to see the
whole earth
The moon too far to base any weapons also.

As far as kidding anyone, I would say you are trying to kid us that
you have some knowledge about this topic

Our military is gearing up full steam for an eventual war with the
Chinese. The Vision for Space Exploration is just cover for a key
aspect of our national security plans.

What mushrooms have you been eating? That is compete BS

Maybe mushrooms dipped in Chinese milk.

i have also become entirely persuaded by my sister's position that someone
is paying him back with these milk sogged mushrooms for not coming to a
godchild party

it's become ragingly apparent.

I bet he hasn't even bothered to send a goldchild card.

In fact is the US exploded China, where would the US buy cheap godchild
cards

What happened on 'Black Thursday'?

The layoff announcements just kept coming, one after another.

All told, six law firms dismissed more than 700 staffers and attorneys in
a
single day: Thursday, Feb. 12. A seventh firm confirmed on that day that
it
had laid off attorneys on Feb. 11, and an eighth that it had laid off
staffers on Feb. 10.
