The human race doesn't currently have the maturity to put any kind of weapon into space. The proof - we can't even clean up the JUNK that's already orbiting the earth.
In orbit, a chip of paint is like a bullet and we can't even deal with that. All we can do is "track" it. Hell we don't even bother to get used oxygen tanks down from that dump, Mount Everest.
I foresee a future where the earth has a Saturn-like ring of garbage - history's greatest monument to impulsive sloppiness and aggression. The only question is, how lethal we want our malfunctioning rubbish ring to be to all life on earth?
