NWO puppet 0bama is doing a rather seamless job of shutting down our capabilities, and our superpower status along with it in a relatively short period of time. 200+ years of progress deconstructed by one Marxist Muslim gay illegal alien agent of the NWO with a phony biography.
Oh great...now were going to be flooded with illegal aliens from zeta reticuli.
Missile defense agency and the Air Force operate other radars that also pick up everything in orbit. Hate to see the redundancy lost, but we are far from blind.
If I were Kim Jong Un, I’d schedule a satellite launch the day after they finally pull the plug, and send it on a low orbit that passes over the White House and Lake Kickapoo Texas.
My guess is that his is redundant capability. There are lots of ground based sensors that track satellites and space junk.
Fine by me. Take this expenditure out of the defense budget and let Congress vote on whether or not to fund it.
Hold on now. I agree about his marxist/gay/moslem/NWO/illegal alien/puppet status.
But that “seamless job” thing would imply work.
I’ve seen nothing that indicates he works.
How much is the rent?
We're so nice! We're twice as polite as Days Inn.
For whatever is coming, we'll not only leave the light on for ya, we'll leave the windows unlocked and the doors wide open.
Maybe God will protect us, because apparently obama and his sequester just said "No."

Space Fence is unique, and imho, every cost effective. Other sensors can refine tracks on tasked satellites, but Space Fence (in which I have no personal stake) is a one off. As it said, 40% of all observations come from one relatively inexpensive system, that is already up and running. I’m baffled.
Hmmmm...you know, that sounds crazy enough...it just might work!
HEY FREE REPUBLIC... OBAMA JUST GAVE THE SYRIANS 192 MILLION DOLLARS FOR “HUMANITARIAN AID”. YEAH LIKE WE BELIEVE THAT GARBAGE! NO MONEY FOR FUNDING THIS DEFENSIVE SYSTEM TO MONITOR SATELLITES AND DEFENSIVE SPACE BASED WEAPONS AND ORBITING DEBRIS BUT WE HAVE ANOTHER COOL 192 MILLION DOLLARS TO GIVE TO AL QAEDA AND THE MB! What an great American that obama is. /S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S
True, there is some redundancy. But the old Space Fence does a lot that no other system can. And it's cheap. It doesn't simply protect us from stray chunks of debris. Our enemies could hide offensive elements in those extensive debris fields. My understanding is that only a space fence can keep track of it all.
Another twist... The facility they're shutting down in October provides coverage for the Southern-tier states; i.e., largely Republican states. Oh, that muslim pos in the White House is vicious.
My Dad, Roger Easton, designed the Space Fence. It helped inspire GPS. Grrrr
They need the money for Obama's unfunded ad ad nauseam campaigning and his vacays.
