> Spy satellites couldn’t be hiding a bomb that they could drop. Although never developed past the conceptual stage, orbital kinetic bombardment is a viable weapon: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment It relies on launching significant mass to orbit though (whether that is split into larger "strategic" weapons or many smaller "tactical" ones), so it hasn't been attractive from an ROI standpoint. Interestingly, SpaceX's focus on greater payloads at lower cost may alter the feasibility of such weapons.
