The problem with weaponizing asteroids is that the target (earth) is going to see them coming from millions of miles away and will have plenty of time to launch countermeasures. The better weapon against terra would be relativistic bombs.

>You finally did it. After years of building armies, kindling allegiances, and hard work, you have brought the whole of the Solar system under a single authority. After beating back Terra, Mars, and any other potential challengers to your claim, you preside as the ruler over the new realm of ___________. A name that will be forever remembered in the history books.
What would you call it /sfg/?

Are there any good YouTube videos/series discussing realistic space warfare?
>inb4 just watch ChOADE videos
They just seem to be hours of people autistically fiddling with sliders to make slightly better nukes. I want to see discussions on the strategy and theory of fighting in orbit of another body. Atomic Rockets is fairly surface level, and most (government) research I've found focuses on surface-to-LEO.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Starship, is in fact, Starship-Super Heavy, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Super Heavy plus Starship. Starship is not a Mars settlement vehicle unto itself, but rather another multimillion dollar component of a fully functioning Earther destruction system made useful by the Super Heavy booster, incinerated beetles, and illegal alien welders comprising a full send as defined by Elon.

Many Mars settlers will use a modified version of the Super Heavy system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Super Heavy which is widely used these synods is often called "Starship", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Super Heavy system, developed by the Super Heavy team.

There really is a Starship, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Starship is the rocket: the payload in the system that allocates the Earthers' resources towards ends that will result in their destruction. The rocket is an essential part of an Earther destruction system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of an independent Mars and total beetle extinction. Starship is normally used in combination with the Super Heavy booster: the whole system is basically Super Heavy with Starship added, or Starship-Super Heavy. All the so-called "Starship" bombardments are really bombardments from Starship-Super Heavy.

Nothing. I will happily supply them with engines, rockets, and fissile material, in large quantities, at all their locations, as soon as possible.

The coherent argument is that Earther governments are insane and getting more insane. Undermining their strength by taking over Twitter is one way to slow that.

I mean, good God, they're in a deranged proxy war with Russia and traded a black, gay woman's basketball player for one of history's most talented arms dealers. Would that shit be done, say, 15 years ago?

Now extrapolate 15 years into the future and tell me with a straight face those insane wokists wouldn't mandate affirmative action Mars colonists or ban methalox engines due to carbon emissions.

Original idea, do steal
Fusion rocket, but the fusion engine is dropped on an Earther city and ignites all its fuel at once.
