That's another favorite of mine as well.
And I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were a few sets of them in orbit right now.
Nha that one is in another league of coolness. That’s scifi level of cool.
Shit is deranged.
Someone should make a movie where we built and launched these but somehow lost control so they continue to loiter indefinitely.
Yeah, it is an absolutely terrifying concept.
"Let's make a weapon so awful, that it can fly around for basically forever, spreading nuclear fallout everywhere it travels at breakneck speeds, and load it up with a dozen or so nuclear bombs, only to cancel the project because the russians would absolutely make this machine as well"
What's worse is the implication of this being revealed to the public. The only way something like this gets unclassified if the military has something stronger/better. Maybe that's ICBMs, maybe something else. Spooky shit either way.
