A major power space war between Russia, China, and the US would result in extinction
Several countries already have plans to increment their military presence in space. Towards the cessation of 2018, the outgoing President Donald Trump established the US’s Space Force which he verbalized was to contravene Russian and Chinese developments in space tech.
A report from the US Department of Defense verbalizes the Space Force would be “to deter and if necessary degrade, deny, disrupt, destroy, and manipulate adversary capabilities to protect US interests, assets, and way of life.”
This would mean anti-satellite weapons, cyberspace technology, and jamming devices.
Space has always been a medium for cooperative international projects such as the ISS (International Space Station).
However, countries working in union in space could be coming to a cessation, with scientists fearing that space wars would be devastating for humanity.
A team of analysts believe a space war involving China, Russia and the US would be catastrophic for humanity.
They write, “A major power space war between China, Russia and America would involve devastating nuclear weapons, destruction of satellites, and overall desolation.”
Because of this, they continue that such a war would result in “extinction of the human race.”
“There would be nuclear fallout, starvation, and a lack of communication or technology.”
They conclude that even if humanity isn’t completely wiped out, humans would be set back the stone-age.
They recommend that Space Force, instead of developing weapons, should act as an example to guide international collaboration.
