They send it up with a 50 megaton payload and it lays in the weeds until needed. With no launch to detect and only re-entry to pick up on, it can be on target and detonated in probably less than 10 minutes. Not long enough to get Putin out of bed to answer the phone. [/quote] Err, no it can't. If the orbital plane of the shuttle doesn't pass over the target at the time you happen to need to use it, you may have to wait hours for a window to come open. Now, no one would necessarily know what you were planning until the de-orbit burn, but you're still looking at the better part of an hour from the time you perform the deorbit burn to the time that you're over the target. [/quote] Lets say it has two or three rotary warhead launchers in its cargo bay much like the nosecone of a small trident or polaris sub launched thermo nuke missle. Possible. Lets also say its original orbital path takes it over Moscow, Beijing, or maybe in between. Cutting out the launch and mid flight phase of an ICBM cuts time down from thirty minutes to five maybe seven minutes to reach targets. The first warhead launched would be a high altitude EMP blast cutting enemy communications within maybe two or three minutes. Gamechanger.

With radars and satellites, the ground station pumping these charges (HAARP), can nuetralize anything in the air systematically. If enough energy is directed into the focal point, spontaneous explosion occurs. The explosion size is relevant to the charge thrown in. [/quote]

"The largest rocket ever launched from the West Coast blasted off Thursday with a classified defense satellite on board. The 235-foot-tall Delta IV Heavy Launch Vehicle lifted off at 1:10 p.m. from Vandenberg Air Force Base, carrying a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office."
This payload was kept top secret. Why is that? What are they doing? Was it a rocket with a spy satellite? Considering it was a fucking large rocket, could it be filled with some form of explosives to hit an in-bound object headed toward us?
Questions, that require answers.
