The US Space Force just kicked off its biggest training drill yet, simulating combat scenarios in orbit. The goal? To prove they're ready to defend American interests—and dominate—in the increasingly contested realm of space.
Editor’s Note: Space isn’t just for exploration anymore—it’s the next potential battleground. With rival nations expanding their space capabilities, this exercise signals how seriously the US takes orbital security. It’s less about imminent conflict and more about deterrence: showing rivals that messing with satellites or other space assets could have consequences. For everyday folks, it’s a reminder that the "final frontier" is getting crowded—and competitive.
