The US military recently announced that the launch of the air-space carrier program is simply to send the aircraft carrier swimming in the water to the sky, and it has even planned to officially enter service in 15 years.
Have you seen the "Sky Mothership" in science fiction movies? In most cases, it plays the role of a "space aircraft carrier", floating in the sky with powerful power, and its huge body is equipped with various powerful weapons, which can be said to be a mobile aerial fortress. . And for such a weapon of science fiction, the United States unexpectedly announced its research and development plan.
The dream of the United States is "the sea of stars"?
The importance of the universe is self-evident. Many of our daily life is closely related to satellites in space. Navigation, positioning, and telephone communications are enough to prove that the sovereignty of space is extremely important for every country. The United States has done an excellent job in this regard. As early as it was competing with the Soviet Union in various aspects, it had already taken the lead in occupying territories in space.
In the hearts of leaders of all countries, there is actually an unwritten rule, that is, territories in space cannot be divided, as long as a country can seize the opportunity to launch into orbit first, then this piece of orbit will be Belonging to this country, is also an important reason why countries all over the world are vying to develop their satellite business. Even the "Aerospace Forces" have been established on the US side. The role is to prevent other countries from attacking the space satellites deployed by the United States. Combat behavior.
and the so-called "air and sky mothership" plan is also part of the US military's plan to occupy the "stars and seas". In the high-profile plan announced by the US military, the air and sky mothership will be based on carrier-based aircraft and carry aircraft capable of flying in outer space. The carrier-based aircraft will also be equipped with advanced equipment such as laser weapons. The plan will rely on rocket jets for lift-off. The and various parts can be assembled according to specific needs. Most importantly, the US military claims that this weapon will be in 15 years. Officially served.
Can the United States really realize this ambitious plan?
15 years is definitely not a long time for the development of a weapon that has never appeared before, it can even be said to be a little short. What's more, the difficulty of developing cosmic weapons that can be put into actual combat is also visible to the naked eye. It not only requires extremely high aerospace capabilities, but also requires high material performance. It must be able to resist high temperatures and pressures to be able to survive in the universe. Normal operation.
However, for the United States, which is now "in dire straits", the economy continues to suffer deficits and the lives of the grassroots people can almost be described as miserable. At this time, it is really feasible to spend huge amounts of money on this plan? If can be completed in the end, a big question mark must be drawn.
