The world's superpowers seem to be gearing up for a war in space that suggests history has been forgotten as well as an understanding of the dangers involved
Most space warfare in its beginning eras, prior to interplanetary or interstellar travel technologies, would be limited to engagements in orbit over a homeworld. If we consider rocket technology and the ISS, most advanced governments would be capable of setting up orbital bombardment platforms at considerable cost. Whomever would own such a platform first will hold the world in a grip of fear. I’m reminded of the PC video game titles Homeworld and Nexus: The Jupiter Incident which in some ways prologue space warfare for humanity.
Humanity is not looking great for the future and Even in our own earth's orbit satellite's from other countries destroying each other. Ever since we learned that heavy objects can harm and or kill it seems nothing has changed we just got better at killing and we have seen war on sea,land and air.

I am sure Jeffrey sachs would agree, too.
