Star Wars just got real. Sort of. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink told the AFA conference the US already has on-orbit space-control weapons. Operational systems, in Earth's orbit, right now. Space Force CSO Gen. Douglas Schiess followed up: Guardians actively operate them. Neither man would say what they are or when they went up. The message was aimed at China and Russia, which have been building counter-satellite capabilities for years. The Space Force FY2027 request already put $21.6 billion into space control, a 158% jump over last year, before this admission went public. Allies and the entire supply chain sit in the path of that spending wave. Space used to support warfare on Earth. It's becoming the battlefield itself, and capital is going to chase that.
