The NCR could have joined in on the space race too if only they'd listened to Mr. House. They'd of been better off if they'd listened him about a lot of issues.

Well, they did start off significantly behind and the long-term dividends of starting a space program from scratch just didn't seem to be sufficient to justify it over, say, new PA and tank factories.
Dust off the old ABM systems but upload the sensor returns of NCR satellites instead of Chinese warheads into the targeting computer, and bam!, anti-sat weapon. Failing that you just need a big enough laser and a telescope.Pre-war America had already militarized space. I wouldn't be surprised if they had anti-satellite tech invented, though not necessarily still active.
Given that said ABM network managed to blunt the nuclear exchange enough that, despite being caught completely flatfooted, the US had anything resembling a future left (from the implications of at least one character, the rest of the world after that exchange makes the US look like paradise... if you can reach it)... I wouldn't be surprised that the old ABMs can do that.Dust off the old ABM systems but upload the sensor returns of NCR satellites instead of Chinese warheads into the targeting computer, and bam!, anti-sat weapon.

From what I remember, that's because there is a lot of code to go through, and given how spaghetti code Gamebryo/Creation is...BTW, somebody actually made a mod for FO3 where you can join the Enclave. Surprised it took this long!

Man the Russian Tourism Board will never catch a break in this or any other universe.Maps lack firm information beyond start of West Russian Death Zone
I'd be very interested in more details about what the Enclave says about Richardson and Eden. Particularly what that 30% wrong that Richardson did is since they don't believe in the genocide plot.Three Presidents strongly emphasised – Richardson, treated as “70% right 30% wrong” figure who despite his flaws initiated reclamation of mainland, with his genocidal attitudes having long been suppressed, treated as martyr to cause of reclamation; Eden, seen as tragic hero who set up the reclamation but died before it could really begin;
From my understanding, Richardson's genocide plot was only accepted by a tiny fraction of the Enclave and that faction was centered around the Rig. The majority of the Enclave we encounter on the field is less accepting of outright genocide (exterminate bandits? Sure, what sane civilization doesn't go out of their way to exterminate bandits? Genocide? Yeah, no.) and more akin to what I would call the 'Pheniox' faction which is more restore the US to its former glory...I'd be very interested in more details about what the Enclave says about Richardson and Eden.

West Russian Death Zone ?14:00 Geography – countries of the world and areas within United States. Maps display US as a whole country owning its pre-War borders plus post-War annexations, areas occupied by “insurrectionists and rebels” marked in striped colours. Maps lack firm information beyond start of West Russian Death Zone, the Pacific coast of the American continents, and the coast of the Mediterranean. Countries are not displayed in these areas, only regions and other geographic areas.
Taking a wild guess it's the radioactive remains of the more urbanized western Russian regions. I doubt the E!USA gives much of a damn about Siberia.West Russian Death Zone ?
