No access to Space for anyone hostile to U.S. interests

    President Bush has signed a new National Space Policy that rejects future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space and asserts a right to deny access to space to anyone "hostile to U.S. interests."

    The document, the first full revision of overall space policy in 10 years, emphasizes security issues, encourages private enterprise in space, and characterizes the role of U.S. space diplomacy largely in terms of persuading other nations to support U.S. policy.

    "Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy asserts in its introduction.

    well that is interesting. Don't think they should worry to much though, theres not many nations hostile to the US that have access to space.

    Sounds like any foreign satelite that could look at its bases, tbh.

    I find it unlikely that the US is not going to explore reality of weapons in space.Why shouldn't it?The military has stated it aim is to dominate all strategic spheres,of which space is but one.I'd sonner have the US dominate it that say China,given that the US holds it's military and elected officials publically accountable......Eventually :rolleyes:
