#1 Satellite disabling technology makes a lot of sense. Almost all military communication - command and control technology, is satellite dependent. Whoever can take out an enemy's satellites would have the advantage in endgame big conflicts. I think back to President Regan's Star Wars program. We don't hear a lot nowadays but I do wonder whether or not those initiatives were pursued.

#3 Be interesting to know which birds were on the tour, and what two sats chat about when they visit.
At first I was thinking, a refueling, then I thought about a sticky upgraded comms package which hadn't yet been compromised.
Now I'm more in the mood of add-on terminal guidance for kinetic mass targeting.
