Why No Weapons In Space?

Whatever you need a website for, create yours today with Wix: www.wix.com/go/infographics
In war, the 'high ground' refers to the most strategic position available on a battlefield, and its occupation and exploitation gives the force occupying it major military advantages. With the dawn of the space age, it quickly became clear that the space around earth was the ultimate high ground, and whoever conquered it first would put all other militaries at a severe disadvantage. So why hasn't it happened yet? That’s what we’ll find out today, in this episode of The Infographics Show- why we can't put weapons on space stations.

    Ok, I just want to point out that gravity wont simply pull an object down that's traveling at orbital speeds, you still need to slow the object down with things like rocket motors or tremendously strong monopropelant engines like the oms on the shuttle... as yes, gravity pulls you down but in orbit you are moving laterally at the same speed as gravity is pulling you down, you need to counteract that force before you can return to earth meaning thermal detection systems would be viable

    Unlike low Earth orbit satellites, when geosynchronous satellites run out of thruster fuel, they do not deorbit, they drift into several stable orbital points and stay in those satellite graveyards forever. I wonder how many of these have a tungsten projectile and a solid fuel thruster in them as a covert orbital kinetic weapon...

And ofc, you don't judge the winner of the race just by who reaches the first checkpoints first, it's who crossed the finish line first, and so far nobody's done it, so there's no winner yet.

    You forgot plain old kinetic weapons. Dropping a mass from orbit that's capable of getting through without burning up would have a LOT of kinetic energy. Some calculations rate them on the scale of a megaton nuke, just from sheer momentum. I've even heard them described of "The Hammer of God" edit: Never mind, you got there towards the end

    We can’t put radar absorbent material on vehicles, weapons, that are coming towards earth, the said material would burn off, the f-22’s radar absorbing material has a temperature limit of around Mach 3, the faster it goes the more air it hits, which means friction, and if they go past a certain speed Mach 3-4(estimates). So if someone where to put radar absorbing materials on a weapon going from space to earth, the heat signature would point it out, also the radar material would burn up upon re-entry. As re-entry speeds are around Mach 25

    This one was prepared BADLY. 1) Wepons on orbit. a) automatic canon was actually used on one soviet station. When not too big, not to heavy ammunition and when made as recoilless as possible (say centrifugal force powered gun), you can freely use it as point defence of sorts, with mitigated cons you mentioned. b) not only nukes, but also kinetic rods and lasers can be used quite easily. Not to mention unmanned space vehicles, like the boeing X-37, wich can be used for attacks on enemy space structures (like satelites, sensors, etc). 2) correction engines. There are such types of engines, wich does require either small(er) amount of fuel, or energy only to work. One of such devices are the movement correcting gyroscopes on spacestation Alpha on our orbit right now.

    The problem with the spaceship firing rockets can easily be counteracted, all you have to do is simply release the rocket from the space craft with minor force like air jets and when the missile is clear of the space craft it will propel itself to its target.
