WE OWN SPACE!!!!! MORE FREEDOM


Anybody else find the story recently of China shooting down a satellite not actually that big of deal, seeing as how we've been able to do it for years? And why is Bush stepping forward acting like China has no right when our very own new space policy asserts a right to "freedom of action in space" saying it will "deter others from either impeding those rights or developing capabilities intended to do so" BUT including the U.S. right to "deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to U.S. national interests."

So, space is free, but we have the rights to it if we say so?
