I think the next step will be to have the missiles in permanent orbit ready to fall upon their targets at any time

and THAT is some seriously weaponized space.

Why do that when you can just put a satellite in orbit whose sole job is to aim and drop a tungsten rod the size of a telephone pole? All the fun of a nuke with none of the fallout, just add gravity.
