I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

I read of a comical weapon called kinetic energy rods or something. They are essentially telephone poll like metal rods that are in space and launched via some sort of launch device at above the speed of sound and cause extreme damage.
The simple fact of the matter is the cost of these systems would be extreme, and we are already pretty good at taking lives from the air, ground and sea.

Rods from god are launched from space. Developing the technology to launch them from space and stocking an orbital bombardment device with sufficient ammunition to make it worthwhile would cost hundreds of millions of dollars,and resupplying with tungsten rods would cost millions per launch.
I'm not sure if it would be cheaper than missiles.
Bombs from planes work well too, and are cheap.
As I mentioned, it would cost millions to resupply the launcher with rods.
No idea, but with a railgun you could use anything I think. Not sure.
Kitdy, I think The_Canuck meant that railguns were the weapon of the future and will be more cost effective, not the weapon from space.
Bombs from planes work, it's just that you can't move an airplane or a bomb quickly enough without using rocket technology, which railgun technology totally gets around.
Basically, we said that it would be expensive to support the outerspace weapons thing. You kinda decided to support it anyway, for some weird reason.
Besides, I don't think weapons are allowed to be stationed in outer space.
I guess I can see railguns being more cost effective than missiles, but I would say that most effective bombing is carried out from the sky.
I don't support kinetic energy weapons, but I find them hilarious.
They are against no treaty - only WMDs are forbidden in space.
