More details on the secret #SpaceX satellite constellation program for the U.S. Department of #Defense.

Perhaps most worrisome: the potential for these assets to become the targets of space warfare, including #ASAT weapons.

Putin is clearly putting more pressure on things, if this is true this is for him a nice , not too risky, escalation.
US satellites, commercial and military, are a strategic asset, being able to threaten them gives Putin more options.

Trying out #guitars at #mudpiemusic in #Brighton - a great selection but this lovely USA-built #G&L #ASAT in an alluring shade of green caught my eye and felt great to play.
When I got home, I had to give my butterscotch 1999 ASAT some attention so it doesn't get jealous 🤣

Just to prove I do play #electricguitar
