US military analysts are concerned by Russian military satellites exhibiting strange behavior. CNN's Brian Todd reports.

The U.S. is drawing attention to "very abnormal" behavior by a Russian satellite, right as the White House pushes for a U.S. Space Force.

A mysterious Russian satellite is raising concerns after a Department of State official said it has been displaying 'very usual behavior' and there is no way for the US to verify what it is. Yleem Poblete, assistant secretary of state for arms control, verification and compliance, said Tuesday that the satellite was launched in October and 'its behavior on orbit was inconsistent with anything seen before'. 'We don't know for certain what it is and there is no way to verify it,' she said in a speech at a UN Conference on Disarmament, a forum established to negotiate arms control and disarmament agreements. 'But Russian intentions with respect to this satellite are unclear and are obviously a very troubling development.'

According to Reuters, the United States voiced deep suspicion on Tuesday over Russia’s pursuit of new space weapons. Such weapons include a mobile laser system to destroy satellites in space, and the launch of a new inspector satellite which was acting in an “abnormal” way. The U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control said that Russia’s pursuit of counterspace capabilities was “disturbing." In February, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, said a priority was to prevent an arms race in outer space. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/MUx0Nqxreq4/u-s-warns-on-russias-new-space-weapons-idUSKBN1KZ0T1 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

Many countries have proposed developing giant lasers to shoot space junk into such tiny pieces so that they will no longer pose a threat to important spacecraft like the International Space Station. But, are space lasers really a thing?

In 2007, a Chinese anti-satellite missile test was responsible for what is considered the most severe fragmentation of space junk in history.” China has a plan to clean up space junk with lasers https://phys.org/news/2018-01-china-space-junk-lasers.html “For the sake of their study, the team conducted numerical simulations to see if an orbital station with a high-powered pulsed laser could make a dent in orbital debris. Based on their assessments of the velocity and trajectories of space junk, they found that an orbiting laser that had the same right ascension of ascending node (RAAN) as the debris itself would be effective at removing it.“ ____________________ Seeker explains every aspect of our world through a lens of science, inspiring a new generation of curious minds who want to know how today’s discoveries in science, math, engineering and technology are impacting our lives, and shaping our future.

Christian McCracken Is there a website which will tell me the best area near me for stargazing? Yakov - Bargal Analytical Instruments Hi Fraser. You think that if one country, lets say China, will decide to put huge sattelite with laser to clear LEO from debris, other countries will alow it? It is a game changing weapon after all. Dani Filth Hey Fraser if Hawking could have lived a couple of months again he would have seen what he spent most of his life studying; an actual photograph of a black hole Máté Matolcsy Hi Fraser! Great show, I have a question. What are the most expensive but technically still realistic space missions that have been proposed so far? What could we achieve with today's economy and technology if we fell into an Apollo mindset again? Homu How does long hair act under artificial gravity? Will it hang down or stream backwards? Matthew Ryan did you set your green screen to Endor on purpose? Jim Becker Fraser, what method do you think will be the real reason for mankind's death here on Earth, will it be from our Sun diving and engulfing us in some X number of years from now or will it be because we finally get that big asteroid hitting us like what killed off the dinosaurs, or will it be because someone gets mad at someone and starts a nuclear war or because our magnetic shield decays and allowing in killer redaction, or because our Ozone layer depletes, so on and so on. (to many different ways I can't name them all). framedropfilms Hey Fraser, great channel. My seven year old son Hayden is fascinated by space and wonders how large (in light years) is our galaxy from one end to the other and how long would it take with our current technology to traverse this distance. Thanks and keep up the excellent work. Steve and Hayden

On Tuesday the Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats warned about threats from space at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on worldwide threats. He said, "As if we don't have enough threats here on earth, we need to look to the heavens — threats in space." He added that, "The global expansion of the space industry will extend space-enabled capabilities and situational awareness to nation-states and commercial space actors in the coming years. The primary concern relates to satellites and anti-satellite capabilities." Currently, the US military is heavily reliant on GPS and signals sent between satellites in space. http://www.businessinsider.com/dan-coats-us-space-attack-2018-2 http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The House of Representatives' version of a defense policy bill mandates the creation of a new military service, the "Space Corps", by January 2019. Yet the Air Force already has a space command, and many in the military think the House's bill would create needless complexity and bureaucracy in the U.S. Armed Forces. Is the Space Corps a good idea? AEI's Mackenzie Eaglen offers her thoughts.

Industrialization was finally improving quality of life for a lot of us, science was making incredible bounds, and our sights were set on the stars. It seemed to many that we were on a trajectory to a space-faring technological utopia. The United Federation of Planets was just around the corner. But the possibility of a much darker space age also loomed: one in which the space around the Earth became highly militarized, and in fact massively weaponized.

Did the Real 'Star Wars' Bankrupt the USSR? In the 1980’s science fact and science fiction looked as if they might become one when the American President Ronald Reagan announced the 'Strategic Defence Initiative' or 'Star Wars' missile defence system. The program was designed to break the nuclear deadlock between the US and Soviets and move beyond the threat of M.A.D. or Mutual Assured Destruction. You can now translate this and other curious droid videos, see my video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLPVgIytKyg The Curious Droid merchandise shop is now open too on Teespring : https://teespring.com/stores/curious-droid. But did the nuclear physicist Edward Teller over-sell the idea to Ronald Reagan and only tell him what he wanted to hear? Even as the world reacted to America's new defence plan, Teller's theories remained decades away from forming a working weapon. So how did just the threat of 'Star Wars' change the world without being put into action?

According to NASA, by February 2015, there were 12,202 known Near –Earth Objects (NEO’s). This figure represents just a small fraction of more than 1.000.000 NEO’s believed to exist , vast number of which up-to-date remain unidentified. These NEO’s represent a major danger to our planet, as they are capable of destroying large cities, and in some cases, even an entire continent. This is a clear and present danger, evidenced by the fact that a person is 14 times more likely to get killed by an asteroid than by terrorists. Although agencies such as NASA and ESA are mapping the skies, politics and technological impediments prevent them from developing an adequate deflection or disruption program in the foreseeable future.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation - Zeus in action HD G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a 2013 American science fiction action film directed by Jon M. Chu, based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy, comic and media franchises. It is a sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.[7][8] The film was written by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. G.I. Joe: Retaliation features an ensemble cast, starring Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson, with Channing Tatum, Arnold Vosloo, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, and Byung-hun Lee reprising their roles from the first film. The film was released in North America on March 28, 2013. It was a box office success, as was its 2009 predecessor, grossing over $371 million worldwide.[6] However, the film received mostly negative reviews, scoring a 28% on Rotten Tomatoes.[9 The Joes are framed for stealing nuclear warheads from Pakistan by Zartan (Arnold Vosloo) who is impersonating the President of the United States (Jonathan Pryce). The entire team is eliminated in a military strike, with Duke (Channing Tatum) as one of the casualties. Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Flint (D.J. Cotrona) and Lady Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) are the only survivors. Meanwhile, Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) and ex-Joe Firefly (Ray Stevenson) rescue Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey) from an underground maximum-security prison in Germany. Storm Shadow is injured during the escape, and retreats to a temple in the Himalayas to recover. Upon learning that he is alive, the Blind Master (RZA), leader of the Arashikage Clan, sends Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and his apprentice Jinx (Elodie Yung), Storm Shadow's cousin, to capture Storm Shadow so he can answer for the murder of his uncle, the Hard Master. Roadblock, Flint, and Lady Jaye return to the United States where they set up a base of operations in a rundown gym. After Zartan announces that Cobra will replace the Joes as America's main protective unit, Lady Jaye deduces that someone is impersonating the President, and Roadblock leads them to General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis), who provides them with weapons and helps them infiltrate a fundraising event that the President will be attending. Lady Jaye steals a sample of the President's DNA and confirms that he is Zartan. They escape after a brief confrontation with Firefly and Zandar (Matt Gerald), the head of the Presidential Detail and a member of Cobra. Snake Eyes and Jinx locate and capture Storm Shadow after a battle with ninjas and take him back to Japan, where Storm Shadow reveals that Zartan murdered the Hard Master and he joined Cobra to avenge his uncle. Storm Shadow then accompanies Snake Eyes and Jinx as they join the Joes' efforts to stop Cobra. Zartan invites the world leaders to a summit, where he blackmails them into disabling their nuclear arsenals, and reveals that he has created Project Zeus: seven orbital kinetic bombardment weapons of mass destruction at his command. He destroys central London to prove his superiority, and threatens to destroy other capitals if the countries don't submit to Cobra. However, Storm Shadow betrays Cobra Commander and kills Zartan, revealing Cobra's deception to the world leaders. While Snake Eyes, Jinx, and Flint fight Cobra's soldiers, Cobra Commander activates the remaining six weapons and instructs Firefly to protect the launch device. Firefly is killed in combat by Roadblock, who deactivates and destroys the orbital weapons. Meanwhile, Colton and Lady Jaye rescue the President. Cobra Commander escapes during the battle and Storm Shadow disappears after avenging his uncle. The real President addresses the nation at a ceremony where Roadblock, Lady Jaye, Flint, Jinx, and Snake Eyes are commemorated as heroes. Colton salutes each of them, and presents Roadblock with a M1911 pistol belonging to General George S. Patton, to use when he finally finds Cobra Commander. Roadblock proudly raises the weapon and lets out a single shot in honor of his fallen comrades.
