Any sources for this? Wikipedia seems to state there are no known operative orbital nuclear weapons systems: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_weapon#Space-to-Earth_...

The poster is describing the future imagined by Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick in 1968, not reality.

We ended up with a lot fewer nukes, and a lot less space. (Also fewer trippy alien wormholes.)

They mean missiles on earth just as we have today, not space based ones.
