We've Done It

I joke about being part of Trump's Space Force.
I joke about Space Force.
I joke.

Yesterday I heard that India just successfully tested their satellite killer.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen - we have (already) weaponized space.
Seemingly tired of having enough hardware to blow up the planet ten times over, we moved the fun to space.

See a pattern?

Just a few short (evolutionary) years ago, we were beating each other with sticks and bones. Then canons, rifles, chains, guns, bigger guns, grenades, bombs, etc.

As a guy with no interest in bombing anyone (except spammers), this is not a welcome thought. It's not like things are going to stop here.

As a guy trying to look at this from a larger perspective, it's saddening.
We're better than this.



If there is any other life out in that absolutely humongous universe, can you imagine what it thinks of us?
