	Air Force Plans for Future War in Space
		The use of space is highlighted throughout the report, with the document stating that space superiority combines the following three capabilities: protect space assets, deny adversaries’ access to space, and quickly launch vehicles and operate payloads into space to quickly replace space assets that fail or are damaged/destroyed.
		Evolutionary Air and Space Global Laser Engagement (EAGLE) Airship Relay Mirrors: Significantly extends the range of both the Airborne Laser and Ground-Based Laser by using airborne, terrestrial or space-based lasers in conjunction with space-based relay mirrors to project different laser powers and frequencies to achieve a broad range of effects from illumination to destruction.
		Air Force scientists and technologists are busy in the labs exploring the possibility of putting a warning energy "spot" on any target worldwide that could be rapidly followed with varying levels of effects.

	Environmentalists Against War
		For example, Air Force researchers are looking at ways to collect or generate large quantities of energy on orbit in order to rely on space-based platforms for more missions and provide a greater degree of true global presence.
		The report emphasizes that space capabilities are integral to modern war fighting forces, providing critical surveillance and reconnaissance information, especially over areas of high risk or denied access for airborne craft.
		In a February 17 press statement issued from the office of the Secretary of the Air Force, the public document on Air Force transformation is described as "a roadmap to the future".

	USAF Transformation Flight Plan Highlights Space Weapons
		The “U.S. Air Force Transformation Flight Plan,” dated November 2003 but only recently posted on the Air Force web site (www.af.mil) cites space as a major capability for enabling “transformation” of the service from its Cold War past to a modern force capable of meeting the threats of today and tomorrow.
		Evolutionary Air and Space Global Laser Engagement (EAGLE) Airship Relay Mirrors: Will significantly extend the range of both the Airborne Laser and Ground-Based Laser by using airborne, terrestrial or space-based lasers in conjunction with space-based relay mirrors to project different laser powers and frequencies to achieve a broad range of effects from illumination to destruction.
		Space Maneuver Vehicle: Would be a rapidly reusable orbital vehicle deployed from the Space Operations Vehicle or Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle that is capable of executing a wide range of space control missions.

	Yorkshire CND - USAF Transformation Flight Plan Highlights Space Weapons - 22/2/04
		From space global laser engagement, air launched anti-satellite missiles, to space-based radio frequency energy weapons and hypervelocity rod bundles heaved down to Earth from space the U.S. Air Force flight plan portrays how valued space operations has become for the warfighter and in protecting the nation from chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high explosive attack.
		An Air Force report is giving what analysts call the most detailed picture since the end of the Cold War of the Pentagon's efforts to turn outer space into a battlefield.
		In theory, lasers -- fired from the ground, from space, or from the air -- would bounce off these blimp-borne mirrors, to track or even destroy enemy missiles.

		The Evolutionary Air and Space Global Laser Engagement, or EAGLE for short, is a new plan being developed by the United States Air Force's Missile Defense Agency.
		The project is a combination of two separate missile defense efforts: the Aerospace Relay Mirror System and a new, high-altitude airship.
		It involves using either ground-based, air-based or space-based lasers deflected off a massive airship (roughly 25 times the size of the Goodyear blimp) covered in mirrors that could destroy missiles but also satellites or spacecraft in a low-earth orbit.

		In space, the attacks that you might make, the trajectories that your vehicles might follow, follow paths that are predictable in advance, predictable in both space and time.
		Objects in space are governed by astrodynamics: “The speed and direction of a satellite cannot be changed as easily as an aircraft’s, and enormous amounts of energy are required to accomplish seemingly trivial changes in a satellite’s altitude or orbital inclination” (Howard).
		Space-based weapons, like all space systems, are predictable and fragile, but they represent significant combat power if used before they are destroyed—leading to a strong incentive to use these weapons preemptively, to “use them or lose them.” The problem is further complicated by the difficulty in knowing what is occurring in space.

	Analysis: Rumsfeld Pursues Space Vision
		The New York Times reported Wednesday that the U.S. Air Force was seeking approval from the president of a new national security directive that would permit the deployment of such weapons in space.
		Ever since then, "The main emphasis in U.S. space policy was on the peaceful uses of outer space," she said.
		"Space capabilities are highly valuable but equally vulnerable," warned John Polanyi, a professor of chemistry at the University of Toronto and winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

		* Significantly extends the range of both the Airborne Laser and Ground-Based Laser by using airborne, terrestrial or space-based lasers in conjunction with space-based relay mirrors to project different laser powers and frequencies to achieve a broad range of effects from illumination to destruction.
		The newly issued Air Force document makes the following point: "The U.S. space capability rests on the foundation of assured access." There is need to deploy, replenish, sustain, and redeploy space-based forces in minimum time to allow them to accomplish the missions assigned to them - through all phases of conflict.

		The space weapons programs listed in the Air Force report went largely unnoticed until Hitchens circulated them in an e-mail Thursday.
		Michael Kucharek, a spokesman for the U.S. Air Force Space Command, said $66.4 million is being spent on a research project to "deny, disrupt and degrade adversary space-based surveillance and reconnaissance systems." He said another $79 million is funding efforts to build a "constellation of optical sensing satellites to track and identify space forces."

		An Air Force space program, nicknamed Rods From God, aims to hurl cylinders of tungsten, titanium or uranium from the edge of space to destroy targets on the ground, striking at speeds of about 7,200 miles an hour with the force of a small nuclear weapon.
		Space exploration is to be guided by "principles of cooperation and mutual assistance," such as obliging astronauts to provide aid to one another if needed.
		Space weapons are expensive, unproven and could lead to a new pursuit by nations across the globe to develop their own space weaponry.

		All of those space-based lasers would be perfect for sending a laser-sail spacecraft with a 10 megaton bomb to any NEO asteroid heading our way.
		Not only that, but the Air Force is working on technology to launch short-lived satellites for one-shot missions, and these disposal sats would be perfect for that sort of environment.
		No its not a strawman its called relevence, we're talking about weapons platforms and space superiority, if you're not then whoopde do for you, The reason for the space weapon platform is to knock down enemy communication and surveillance satellites in order to gain control of LEO.

		I don't mind the US trying to build a laser that does this, but the reflective blimp idea sounds like someone's corny attempt to keep their job.
		A decently powered laser, angled correctly, would punch a hole in that thing that would bring it down in five minutes.
		Granted there is no doubt in my mind that the statement that its an "airship" implying lighter then air mechanics also refers to the fact that it icould be using a method other then some sort of gas as a lifting medium.
