What are we talking about here?  A space-based supercomputer / AI system located in space would presumably avoid both the power and cooling problems associated with terrestial systems, no small thing.  I notice this wasn't mentioned in the original post.

However orbital weaponry is another matter entirely.  Once a relatively small nation like Australia becomes part of a larger US-based system it loses all control of it, and I fail to see what we would gain.
