Investigative Reports: Space Warriors

Most people think that with the death of Star Wars, the U.S. military has little presence in space beyond spy satellites. The truth could not be more different. From a top-secret hideaway deep inside a granite mountain, a five-star general supervises the U.S. Space Command, responsible for all U.S. military space systems. There are more of them than you might think. This groundbreaking program exposes the scope of our holdings in space from navigation satellites to top-secret weapons installations. Interviews with high-ranking military officers, including NORAD commander General Charles Horner and Lt. General Donald Lionetti of the U.S. Army Space Command, provide a unique insider's view of these operations, while others question their necessity in the post Cold-War world. From deep beneath the ground to high-earth orbit, SPACE WARRIORS is an illuminating expose of America's efforts to dominate the heavens.
