Reply to comment by aecarol1 in China looked at putting a monitoring satellite in retrograde geostationary orbit via the moon by OkOrdinary5299

That might as well be an attack on humanity. Sure let’s just render the entire sphere of influence of the moon uninhabitable for everyone that wants to put a satellite there

Yes, it's a horrific thing to contemplate. It would wreck many terribly useful orbits for decades to come. I'm certainly not in favor of it, but I can imagine a nation doing this for some perceived tactical advantage.

I feel like there should be really horrible consequences for whatever nation does that if it even becomes a reality

If it ever gets to that level, there is already some deep, dark stuff, near extinction level stuff going down on the planet.

That’s strangely reassuring because I don’t see us getting to that point, at least not for a long time
