This is probably like the nuke aftermath mission in CoD4, you probably just walk around in space a bit, and then it happens.
yeah or the intro bit where you are loaded into a car and taken to be shot... although the only way you could cause that much damage to the space station would be to shoot it with a rocket. this must mean that one of the countries (lets face it: this must mean russia) gets antsy with the US and tries to take out their space systems.
if you were going to attack the US targetting their satellites as a first strike would be as logical as targetting their carriers and their air fields. And for that matter the president. (although that would have almost no military advantage, and turn him into a matyr). this fits in with the space station because they fix satellites right?
my money is on us seeing the outbreak of WW3, the APC you saw shooting up american suburbs was a russian one, it follows that the russians may have gone totally insane and attacked the US of A... (yes i know the white house is on the wrong side of the US for a probable russian invasion, but so the hell what? we're talking about russia attacking the US and not nuking washington back to the stone age first...)
PS the astronauths dont have weapons because short of a bow and arrow or sword modern weapons won't operate in space. and they are scientists. and anyone else talking about aliens and MW2 in the same breath will be spanked.
