What wars in space? So far, any space-based weapons are pointed firmly downwards at the ground. Any combat in space, while theoretically possible, is economically not feasible. The cost per kilo to loft anything into orbit or further is prohibitive. At best, kamikazi satellites, or kinetic energy devices could be used against space stations and satellites. Beyond Lunar orbit, the distances make combats less than unlikely.
