Space-nuke attack on ‘potential target’ like Musk’s Starlink would ‘indiscriminately affect life on Earth’, expert warns

Rods from God

• A strange but utterly terrifying weapon has been dubbed “rods from the God” and is based on the concept of creating man-made meteorites that can be guided towards the enemy.
• Instead of using rocks rods the size of telephone poles are deployed.
• These would be made out of tungsten — a rare metal that can stand the intense heat generated by entering Earth’s atmosphere.
• One satellite fires the rods towards the Earth’s atmosphere while the other steers them to a target on the ground.
• Reaching speeds of 7000mph they hit the ground with the force of a small nuclear weapon — but crucially creating no radiation fall out.
• As bizarre as it sounds, a US Congressional report recently revealed the military has been pushing ahead with the kinetic space weapons.

Molten metal cannons

• This intriguing idea is being developed by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
• It is called the Magneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition or MAHEM.
• This game changing rail-gun can fire a jet of molten metal, hurled through space at several hundred miles per second by the most powerful electromagnets ever built.
• The molten metal can then morph into an aerodynamic slug during flight and pierce through another spacecraft or satellite and a munition explodes inside.

Space force ships

• Already the United States is powering head with its spacecraft, although China is busy developing one of their own.
• The top secret American XS-1 under development by DARPA.
• It can travel ten times the speed of sound and launch missiles.
• Meanwhile an unmanned craft is currently being developed in the China Aerodynamics Research and Development Centre in Mianyang, Sichuan province, which is also known as Base 29.
