Re: It's a growth industry
[quote name="the emotionally damaged. "]I wondered if they want to take the NRO public and thereby increase its budget by an order of magnitude. As for the intercepts, I kind of assumed that's one of the things the NRO have already been up to, but I admit giving the matter passing attention at best. My only thoughts on space to earth weapons is, of course, Kinetic Bombardment (because I read Stephenson too) but we wouldn't need to create an entirely new service branch to deploy and maintain that. Mining/exploitation is an excellent guess though, I can imagine presented arguments on that being well received. If the Kinder Concentration Camps didn't own the newscycle, perhaps we'd hear something about where NASA and its assets will fit in any of this or learn of any potential Navy/Air Force arguments over dominion.
