A defense-tech startup recently ran a Washington tabletop exercise on a nuclear detonation in space. The scenario was fictional, but the business opportunity was very, very real.
This gives a whole new meaning to 'the Attention Economy' really. I'm heartened by the comments though - people won't be having any of this if it physically possible.
IF you opened a can of sardines and left it open, setting in the Texas summer sun for 3 days, it would not smell as fishy as this concoction or perhaps better yet, cacophany. After reading this article I started following links and all you get is the same BS in a slightly different form. This sounds like the "start-up" toy company in Miami, FL. who sold billions of dollars in weapons to Sadam Hussein so he could fight Iran for us, or should I say, US in the '80's. This is another Harkins Petroleum Co. for sure.
When you start planning the response to an epic disaster (like the novel corona virus) and putting money on the outcome, say... well I don't think that's morally acceptable. You would be incentivising the negative outcome, as we witnessed with covid.
So this seems like the same kind of deal.
Shouldn't be allowed, but we haven't learned that lesson after covid.
The focus on money and technologies, instead of the betterment of the world with the uplifting of humanity does not give much hope for the world's survival.
An interesting scenario... makes one wonder how we'd know... did a nuclear blast in space that we can't see just happen, or did the powers that be just turn off our internet as a means of disrupting communication between the masses...??

Hmmmm……why am I remembering the show “Don’t Look Up” I feel like we are being prepped for this🤔

Yep, sounds like a forewarning to me.
