Arming the
heavens: Some resources on weapons in space
March 2006
The
Pentagon's FY07 budget request funds nearly a billion
dollars in programs that could provide dual-use space
weapons capabilities. According to CDI Director Theresa
Hitchens, one of our good friends, “Congress
must become more aware of these efforts, hidden in
plain sight within the Pentagon’s Byzantine
budget request, and ensure that such programs do not
go forward until a proper, in-depth and intergovernmental
policy-making process, including congressional and
public input, is concluded.”

Space
Weapons Spending in the FY 2007 Defense Budget
Press
release, March 6: In the absence of a clear national
strategy and policy on new military missions in
outer space, the administration is funding programs
that will create "facts in orbit." These
facts will drive U.S. policy toward space weapons
without a debate in either Congress or the public. |

Space
Weapons and the Risk of Accidental Nuclear War
"Fifteen

of an accidental nuclear exchange has far from
decreased. Yet, the United States may be contemplating
further exacerbating this threat by deploying
missile interceptors in space."
