[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I'm not sure if "Homefront/Paradise Lost" spoke of anything beyond infantry weapons on Earth surface... But having the orbit of Earth be empty is easy enough to explain. It's simply that all the stuff in orbit is so far away from all the other stuff that it cannot be seen. Only when two pieces of hardware are functionally connected (like the "orbital office" and its apparently associated dock facilities in TMP, with all those workbees shuttling in between) will they be close enough to each other to be seen with naked eye. If Earth has orbital weapon platforms, they are probably higher up than the orbits we have visited, and more distributed than the corresponding systems of Chin'toka or Cardassia Prime, owing to greater range, better targeting systems, and higher reliance on the power of diplomacy and starship deterrence... We'd then not see the platforms, unless we saw an actual attack and the platforms started firing. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
