Russia had weapons mounted on Space Stations. How did we overlook this.

"Defense measures

In addition to reconnaissance equipment, Almaz was equipped with a 23mm Nudelman rapid-fire cannon mounted in a stationary position to the forward belly of the station.^[1] This self-lubricating cannon was modified from the tail-gun of Tu-22 jet bomber, and was capable of firing 950 rounds per minute. Each 200 gram projectile flew at a speed of 690 m/s relative to the station^[2]. To aim the cannon the entire station would be quickly reoriented facing the threat.

Salyut 3/OPS-2 conducted a successful test firing on a target satellite remotely with the station unmanned due to concerns over excessive vibration and noise.

OPS-4 was to have featured two unguided missiles instead of the aircraft cannon, but this system has not been shown publicly and may have never been fully manufactured."

Joeseh Stalin Quote

I don't really want to post twice in one day, but I was looking at the quotes at the bottom of my blog, and I saw this quote:

"Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division ;and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts." -Joesph Stalin

Despite the fact that this was said over 50 years ago in a Communist Nation, it holds true to the world today, somewhat. In America, owning land has become commonplace, but Half of the world lives on less that $2 a day, Americans on average live on, say, $50. That's 25 times more than half of the world. Despite what we've tried to do, this fact is just that, a fact!
