"The US space hawks are using this communist China threat to get more money for their programmes. They believe you can never have too much superiority," said John Pike, a space analyst and director of Globalsecurity.org, a Washington-based think-tank.
Well, that's how I play my SE4 games. Why ignore a risk to our space-based technology, especially when we do rely on space so much (i.e., weapons/troops using GPS)?
Of course, it wouldn't take much to get the masses behind the DoD. Just let the Chicoms take out a civilian GPS satellite by accident. Bass fishermen would be enlisting by the millions.
