The next battlefront - space

Call Buck Rogers.

Yet this is not farfetched at all, it is a serious threat - especially considering how much we rely on satellites in our daily lives. China blew up one of their own satellites with a missile (for fun?) and satellites are constantly being probed and possibly dazed by ground-based lasers.

Air Force Chief Warns of Attacks on Israeli Satellites

(IsraelNN.com) Air Force Chief Brigadier General Eliezer Shkedi warned Wednesday that the possibility exists that terrorists might take aim at Israeli satellites. "It could be done by a state or a terrorist organization, and I suggest that we don't close our eyes because we're talking about a real battlefield and this could potentially occur," he told the Ilan Ramon International Space Conference.

His comments came less than two weeks after Israel successfully launched a satellite that is circling the globe and is intended to gather intelligence. Brig.-Gen. Shkedi added that he knows of no specific threats of an attack on satellites but that the possibility should be taken seriously.
