And of course, it IS perfectly legal, and yes, we do the same thing. The lesson to be learned, and it’s one that the defense department should be happy to broadcast, is that space isn’t some kind of peaceful paradise, and we do need the Space Force to exist and be taking reasonable measures to defend our assets and have backups in case of their potential loss.
