Darth Vader made a personal appearance at Bath Iron Works in Maine during a shift change vigil on last day of Keep Space 4 Peace Week. The sign says, ‘Aegis (destroyer) interceptor missiles can be used as Anti-Satellite (ASAT) weapons’ as was proven in a 2008 Navy test (Operation Burnt Frost) when they fired a missile into space and knocked out an old US military satellite.
