00:00American weapons may already be in space, orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth.
00:06The US has reportedly acknowledged having weapons in orbit, but officials aren't saying
00:11what they are.
00:12For decades, space was considered off-limits for weapons, mostly for satellites and science.
00:19But that balance is shifting, so what kind of weapons could be up there?
00:24Maybe systems that can hit targets at incredible speeds, or maybe jammers, or even directed
00:31energy weapons that can blind the satellite without firing a shot.
00:35The secrecy adds another layer of tension.
00:38It's tied to the US Golden Dome Project, a missile defense shield for America.
00:44But anything that can destroy a missile up there could also take out satellites.
00:48And with China and Russia pushing their own military space technologies, this feels like
00:53a competition that's heating up.
