Uuuuh. There are only a couple lagrange points, unlike the massive amount of normal satellite paths available in LEO and HEO.
We absolutely should not allow any single actor (apart from the UN, maybe) to lay claim to the precious lagrange real estate
Could we drag a big asteroid to each Lagrange point and let countries orbit their satellites around that?
You already orbit Lagrange points, and there's already tons of space rocks milling about in them.
Lagrange points are weird.
Webb uses one. Mostly empty space though it's suffered a few micrometeoroid strikes already. https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/about/orbit.html
Restarted, the Star Wars have.
funny you mention Reagan's signature secret. I probably won't be here to see it but I believe we will eventually be able to destroy nukes in their silos or shortly after launch. AI to detect and target in real time. they aren't doing nothing with trillions of dollars.
We already can detect nukes and shoot at them. The problem is if you miss even once thats a whole city gone, and you only have a few minutes to take the shot.
