Why on Earth would you help them militairise outerspace and draw a crosshair on your forehead while being at it ? As if current spacejunk isn't enough of a threat to humanities future in space already. This sounds all awesome at first, but think about it for a second.
Man space is going to be militarized no matter what. Haven't you seen star wars?

"Won the Air Force Space Security Challenge" on your resume is basically a license to k̶i̶l̶l̶ name your own salary with any reputable tech company.
The winners are certainly a potential threat to national (global?) security. What's the price of a celebrity status like that?

Prisoner's dilemma, basically. If your country doesn't militairise outer space, others still might - and then you'll be even worse off.
I can always make up a hypothetical scenario where I become the victim of some aggression... to justify being a bully.

#56>>Participants who successfully complete a set of qualification challenges on cybersecurity and space this spring will be invited to the ultimate challenge: to (ethically) hack a satellite. Lol. That is so military public affairs. You are allowed to hack a satellite after being vetted and approved by government. Are Canadians allowed to participate? How about Russians? What about crypto-anarchists who will never pass…
.. which will be used to coordinate drone attacks on foreign targets. So much for ethics ..

I'd rather go the Star Trek route.

The part where the Starfleet cruises around space in giant militarized weapon platforms with phase cannons and torpedos, engaging in de facto military conflicts?
That Starfleet just happens to use a military chain of command and fleet structure doesn't mean they've "militarized space" in any way. It's just a unique expression of Earth culture, and nothing more.
Starfleet is peaceful, it's everyone else in the galaxy who's warlike, because they fear Starfleet's freedom and way of life. If it weren't for those duplicitous Romulans and thuggish Klingons, Starfleet might not even need every ship to have enough firepower to boil the oceans off of a planet. But peace has to be defended.
Or would you rather have the Alpha Quadrant be run by aliens?

> the one operating on 60 GHz so that it cannot be heard from the ground directly Isn't that the same frequency for ground-based 5G mmWave?
