What is the earliest possible scenario you can imagine where a battle takes place in orbit?
I'm willing to hear about any sort of battle, possibly:
ISS mutiny triggered by a war on the ground between member countries
X-15 style spacecraft armed with anti-satellite/station weapons
A "Space Pearl Harbor" preemptive strike on a countries orbital infrastructure
A world where the US adopts Project Orion, allowing for much larger man-man combat in space
I'd also love to hear y'all's thoughts on different vehicles and weapons that would be used.
I could imagine entire squadrons of X-15s being launched at once from a couple of B-52s, with maybe 4 X-15s on each mothership (or maybe "spacecraft carrier", not sure what the name would be)
