Am I the only one who thinks this is good news? Not awesome, not even great, but good for development of space technologies.
It's literally another space race if it's true, and we know how the last one turned out.
As they seek to destroy stuff in space (from Earth and from space), they'll want to do it as cheap and fast as possible, and that will be picked up by civilian space companies and enthusiasts in no time.
I highly doubt it will cause any big wars - but if it does, we damn well deserve it.
