International Star wars
"Space may become a war zone in the not-too-distant future, a senior US military officer warned hours after China became only the third country to put a man in space.

Lieutenant-General Edward Anderson, deputy commander of US Northern Command, said he expected American space capabilities to come under attack from enemy forces. The US operates spy satellites in space.

In response to a question at a geospatial intelligence conference being held in New Orleans, General Anderson said: "Our military forces depend very, very heavily on space capabilities . . .

"They (potential enemy forces) can see that one of the ways that they can certainly diminish our capabilities will be to attack the space systems.

"Now how they do that and who that's going to be I can't tell you in this audience," General Anderson, formerly with the US Space Command, told the unclassified conference."
