  1. ⏳DANIEL CHAPTER 12 VERSE 4⏳

  2. The best way to prevent conflict in space is for US, Russia, China, India, Korea, Japan, etc to have such robust and prolific private, commercial and government enterprises and programs for exploration, industry, mining, sensing, communications in LEO, cislunar space and on the lunar surface and orbit that any risk to those assets from collateral damage of military conflict in space would be more costly than the potential strategic gains. The policy of mutually assured destruction that has prevented nuclear warfare on Earth, in space the risk is Kessler syndrome and losing priceless economic assets.

  3. 6:56 WarGames is such a great movie and I believe the set was very much based on NORAD's actual interior. Kind of wish this Space Force station was still as massive as that one. edit: 18:35, ah he said "nearby Air Force Academy" giving away at least the basic location of the SF station (Colorado Springs, most likely still Cheyenne Mountain then). i thought they moved out of there 🧐

  4. Propaganda man are not safe from himself . We need to get this fixed for the future get started on protecting children

  5. You think we’re really gonna announce to the world that we’re conducting “tests”….. this is a game weak economies don’t want to play

  6. Gee you can see the stars in the cartoons but not so called real footage? What up?

  7. I'm concerned that there are space based weapons. During the shuttle Era every flight of the shuttle Atlantis was under control of the U. S. military.

  8. Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money. When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance

  9. OK you look so innocent and harmless. but who started so many wars on the earth. China?

  10. No worries folks. If there’s gonna be a war in space, it’s going to be computer generated, just like everything else they show us..

    May the force be with you 😝

  11. That's why the US must build moonbase help spacex starship to fly

  12. My takeaway from this, the US needs its allies.
    The US likes to think it won the Cold War on its own. But the US won the Cold War because it had the better allies, and it can only win this war as a partner in a coalition with the best allies. If the US stands by its allies, they will hitch their carts to the US, and the US will easily control the future. If the US ignores its allies, they will look elsewhere.

  13. Russia's space force has been spooking America's Nazi Empire and are the 'UAF's that freak-out our Nazi pilots.

  14. Starlink is better because they have retrograde orbits they're cheaper to make and they're just as good and if one gets blown up eventually the pieces fall down to earth within the next four to five years versus having minefield in space maybe the US government should take some notes otherwise we'll always be stuck on this planet will never be able to leave and humanity will die here it is as if we never been born because we could not grow into a real space civilization because the flea's want to fight over who has control over the dog. So small-minded are dictators who want to control people and the world.

  15. Notice the racial imbalance in the group behind VP Harris?

  16. What if people just don’t pay taxes to stop wars?

  17. Why is anyone surprised by this?

  18. Specially placed thermonuclear devices would wipe out all the satellites. Blind would America be that hour most, militarily.

  19. This shows you that no one abides by treaties in this world. The only place that was supposed to be free at war and counselism or space and now America has figured out a freaking way to even go against that.

  20. 14:02 – You can't even protect babies from a food shortage… why should anyone take politicians seriously on Anything…?

  21. Extremely incredible presentation Tom Costello #NBCNEWS
