- MichaelZuo 3y agoSatellites in LEO and MEO can be destroyed with reasonably affordable conventional missiles nowadays, and it's impossible to hide or maneuver satellites in the few minutes it takes a missile to get up, so it doesn't really make sense to expect that any such system will survive long enough to do anything in a hot war scenario. Hence why nobody really wants to weaponize space, spending money on military systems that have no survivability isn't very attractive.
