Cluster bombs in space

[plwhit]

Cluster bombs are great for targets that are in a concentrated area, unfortunately the likely space targets aren't grouped in a cluster. Cluster bombs are more of a "gee, I hope we hit something" weapon when it comes to outer space.

The current spacecraft the United States has, the Boeing X-37B is a much more logical weapon.

With all the debris and ball bearings in orbit it would effectively end any kind of near Earth space projects for the foreseeable future.
