World Powers Prepare Space War Because Earth Was Getting Too Mainstream
KEY POINTS
- •China and Russia are rapidly expanding offensive space capabilities, blurring lines between routine and hostile actions in orbit.
- •The US executed Operation Absolute Resolve in Caracas with Space Command support, demonstrating integrated modern warfare.
- •The Pentagon’s $151 billion missile defense contract attracted over 2,400 firms aiming to dominate space militarization.
In the blockbuster saga of 'Tomorrow’s War,' China and Russia are busy treating space like it’s their backyard BBQ, complete with satellite close approaches and rumored nuclear moon dust. Meanwhile, the U.S., turbocharged by Trump’s second-term Space Force glow-up, organized a Vegas-worthy $151 billion missile defense shopping spree, won by over 2,400 companies eager to sell weapons that make Star Wars tech look like laser pointers. Operation Absolute Resolve’s Ventura cameo helped US Delta Force storm a power-blacked Caracas, all while industry execs quietly confirmed space is no longer the 'peaceful domain' but ‘the next XBOX Live Arena’ where cutting eyes and ears means digital domination. Elon Musk’s $175 billion 'Golden Dome' on the Moon is awaiting its debut, just in time for nuclear reactor installation #becauseWhyNot.

Space is the new Wild West except with nukes, billion-dollar shopping sprees, and a Golden Dome bigger than most countries' GDPs. Meanwhile, everyday folks just want to check their weather without a side of interstellar war.
If you thought traffic on Earth was bad, wait till countries start camping in your orbit with nukes and satellite selfies. Space Force is basically Space HOA now.
Trump moved Space Command to Alabama and installed lunar nukes because why defend Earth when you can threaten the Moon? Next up: Mars blockade with Tesla rovers.
