Because it’s cost prohibitive?

Oh, the taxpayers will still pay for it. It will just never be built.
Never say never. Somebody like you probably thought going into space would never happen. It’ll happen and it won’t hurt to be at the frontier.

But you’re against any form of space defense? Or just this?

Other countries wouldn’t just be shooting down our satellites for the same reason they don’t just blow up our naval or aerial fleets. Moot point.
Baby steps. Start small and build it up. Figure out new, more feasible weapons. Other countries are already thinking about and experimenting with space defense. Not just us.
When your bones have been repurposed for crude oil and when all of Earth’s resources have gone dry, the people of that time will think of space military the same way we think of the Air Force.
Like everything else Drumpf does; this is a scam. Your dear leader will never implement this. It is an obvious protection racket. Reagan had Star Wars and that was never implemented because it would have cost trillions in the eighties. Another conservative grift to increase funds for the military.
You love Trump
Are you OK?
They’re communicating pretty close to how humans do.
You said “dear leader Trump”. Clearly you think of him as a dear leader. That’s cool. You love Trump.
Does anyone remember when canada was building one of the world’s most advanced fighter jets and cancelled it because the americans said they would build a missile defense shield that would protect us instead?

“Ever since nuclear-armed intercontinental-range missiles were deployed in the 1950s, the United States (and its potential adversaries) have been vulnerable to nuclear attack. This is very unnerving, and has caused our leaders to search for some kind of technical fix that would change this situation by making it possible for us to defend ourselves against such an attack. Fixing this situation is also very appealing to the public. As a consequence, new systems for defending against ICBMs have been proposed again and again, and about half a dozen have been built, costing large amounts of money, in the hope that a technical fix could be found that would make us safe. But none of these efforts have been successful, because the difficulty of defending against nuclear-armed ICBMs is so great.”

There’s no need for Canada to entertain this nonsense. Use the money on something important.
Especially when the USA keeps making clear that it is one of the two countries most likely to conduct hostile actions against Canada.
If they build something to attack missiles immediately after launch, how do the Americans even know who is the target?
Like, you’re choosing whether or not to shoot down a missile that launches in the general direction of Canada and America, but at launch you can’t see exactly which?

Do people still think defense in space is a dumb idea? Why?
