4. Not good news...KH 11s are our workhorse eyes and ears for intelligence

Here goes the counter anti-satellite defense build up. I don't much go for the next defense build up but having worked in Mil Int in the Army it really works when you can see and hear what is going on over the horizon to prevent us from overreacting out of fear we'll get caught with our panties down. But I hear the numbers that we are paying Lockheed Martin to develop an anti-hypersonic missile defense and our own hypersonic missile systems and it staggers the imagination- $100s of billions. What could we do with that kind of money for education and so on?
