War in space begins – and ends – fast. Indeed everything in space, at least in the space around our planet, happens fast. Satellites move at fantastic speed, circling the entire planet in ninety minutes. Missiles launched from the ground can reach them in minutes. When they collide – as they must, if the action was deliberate – they do so at hypersonic speeds, smashing together so quickly that the normal laws of physics cease to apply.
