@newdlenews: The U.S. military has confirmed, for the first time, that it has weapons deployed in Earth's orbit. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink made the disclosure Monday at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference. He said the U.S. now has "on-orbit space control weapons" to defend its forces against hostile action, but didn't say what they are. The Space Force says these capabilities can be used offensively and defensively.
