SOS... Wouldn’t firing a missile from a satellite result in the satellite moving in the opposite direction and losing its normal orbit? ....I’ll vote for the lasers.

Not necessarily. It would affect the satellite if the missile tubes were closed at the bottom but not if they were open.

Think rifle vs. bazooka.

Thanks to you all for giving logical replies to my question regarding possible recoil from a missle firing.

Guess I was too close to sleep time to think clearly when I posed the question. lol
