  1. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The recoil is going to send you in the opposite direction you’re shooting. Kinetic weapons wielded by individual space soldiers are going to be problematic. Energy weapons (wielded as a soldier’s weapon) are the holy grail. But really, we’re going to rethink strategy and tactics completely in this new battle space. You should make a video about that. What are the objectives? What are the strategic purposes? Space war is going to be much more analogous to air war, but rather than air supremacy being a goal, we need to think in terms of orbital supremacy. The practical application of the laws of physics will be very different (increase velocity to go higher, decrease to go lower). Higher orbit supremacy means you can control higher orbits, and even the surface (not in a boots on the ground way, but in a surface destruction via kinetic weapons way. Basically, throwing rocks.) Long term strategy is going to be about creating a logistics chain outside of the planetary gravity well. It’s very expensive to send material up the well, less expensive to bring in materiel from outside the gravity well. So, a race to control the asteroid belt? Would the moon be a viable base (either for material harvesting or fabrication of weapons)? I don’t know. I don’t know how important Lagrange points are going to be. Ultimately, automation is going to be key, whether we’re talking resource gathering, weapon construction, or war fighting. And the key to automation is AI. [trigger Skynet jokes]. Another key is viable non-planetary based society, self sustaining. If your society is not Earth based, you will always have advantage over Earth based societies. And you’re going to fight like hell to prevent other societies from becoming space based. The first one to accomplish this will control the rest of humanity. Yeah, it’s kind of fucked up (at least I think so), but that’s the reality. The society with the best technology wins. While they might eventually not need anything from the surface of the planet, they’re strategically bound to stop other societies from gaining a toe hold in space. Maybe better to kill everyone down there? Bomb them to the Stone Age and keep them there? Yes, it’s fucked up!
