00:00Imagine a normal night in New York City, lights glowing, phones buzzing, life in motion.
00:07Then, in a blink, silence.
00:10Every light out, every screen dead.
00:13Not a sound, not a clue, no explosion, no enemy in sight.
00:18This isn't the start of a sci-fi movie.
00:21It's the real terrifying potential of an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse attack.
00:27The dream of space-based defense began in 1983,
00:32when President Ronald Reagan proposed a futuristic missile shield dubbed Star Wars.
00:38Now, decades later, that dream is being revived, only bigger, faster, and more dangerous.
00:46Meet the threats the U.S. is preparing for with Trump's Golden Dome.
00:52Ballistic missiles.
00:52They soar into space, then dive down at Mach 5 or more.
00:58The modern versions can carry multiple warheads, each aimed at a different city.
01:03Hypersonic missiles.
01:05Faster than sound.
01:06Maneuverable.
01:07Undetectable.
01:08Impossible to intercept.
01:10Until now.
01:12Weapons from space.
01:13Imagine satellites launching attacks from above, giving you seconds to respond.
01:19EMPs.
01:20The silent killer.
01:21One blast high above Earth, and your power grid, cars, computers, phones, all go dark.
01:29To counter these threats, Donald Trump has proposed a $175 billion super project, the Golden Dome.
01:37Inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, the Golden Dome isn't for short-range threats.
01:42It's designed to protect the entire U.S. continent from the most advanced weapons on Earth and beyond.
01:49Here's how it's meant to work.
01:52Satellites with sensors spot launches instantly.
01:55Space-based lasers or AI-guided interceptors neutralize the missile before it reaches Earth.
02:02Back on Earth, EMP-hardened systems keep communications alive.
02:06It's a multi-layered, 360-degree defense net.
02:11Ambitious?
02:12Yes.
02:13Unrealistic?
02:14Maybe.
02:14Here's what the future of defense may look like.
02:18AI-guided missiles with near-instant reaction times.
02:22Laser turrets shooting down threats at light speed.
02:26Atmospheric ionization tracking, using the sky itself to detect danger.
02:31And it's not just America.
02:33China is rapidly building space-based strike platforms, hypersonic weapons, and anti-satellite tech,
02:40all aimed at eroding America's edge.
02:43This isn't science fiction anymore.
02:46The next war might not begin on land or sea or even in the air,
02:51but far above, beyond Earth, in space.
02:54The space race is back.
02:56Only this time, it's armed.
02:59The next war might not begin on land or sea or even in the air.
03:03The next war might not begin on land or sea or even in the air.
