Are we gonna end up with countries sending up fake satellites that shoot out projectiles meant to take out other countries satellites? Ramming things into them to disable them? I mean that's the kinda shit that will happen if we end up with arms races in space..

China and Russia have already militarized space for the last 5 years or so
If you think about it, we have no fast action way to respond to military space threats/actions without this new change do we? I might be missing something I dunno but this move seems like a good one to me.
This Chinese "anti satellite" weapon destroyed Russian satellite "debris" in 2013... so...
Russia has "killer satellites" that change orbit to destroy other satellites and stay intact to complete multiple missions.
