Space Wars: Now Featuring Actual Space Battles, Not Just Netflix
In an unprecedented move on January 11, 2024, U.S. military brass announced the integration of the Space Layer into warfighting operationsâyes, actual space! The new phase shapes up to be the first time in history when satellites and starry realms stop being sci-fi and start being battlefield hotspots. Trust the Pentagon to outdo Hollywood by making space a full-on combat zone, proving somewhere between Star Trek and Perseus you can find real missile tracking. The phrase 'This is the first time we'll have a space layer fully integrated into our warfighting operations' was so groundbreaking it sounds like a nerdy dad bragging about installing WiFi, but with lasers. The universe probably wasn't ready for this. Move over, Moonwalking a la Michael Jacksonânow it's Moon Battling a la Uncle Sam.
