I had to look this up after I saw a commercial for the US Air Force. The commercial basically said that the air force now is responsible for defending our space interests. They said that a missile can knock out satellites in space. I guess because our military has proved that it can be done they feel that they have the right to scare people into thinking that every one can shoot a satellite out of the sky. Oh and by the way, the UN voted that space will only be used for peaceful purposes, the unoosa.org link explains that resolution in detail. 163 nations voted yes and three abstained, one being America. I love America but this is ridiculous, this shows just how arrogant our leaders (and a majority of Americans) are.
