i think we should think look ourself as the people of earth and not as a citizen of one country or other.

[yurtaevi]

China man at the end was absolutely right, if US goes ahead with militarizing the space, Russia, China, India will respond, and this will lead to another arms race.

[apresesco]

U.S. is clearly looking for a WW3 with these weapons in space

[weathercast100]

@yurtaevi They will do so anyway, as would any other country with acces to space

[StiviGun1]

BULLSHIT! The United States is not the only country that develops space weapons, China and Russia do that too. And they're not doing it "because the US is doing it", they're doing it because they want to militarily dominate the US. So the US has no choice but to develop its own space weapons. It's amazing how a Chinese guy accuses US of being responsible for the militarization of space and somehow, people believe him. Even if that guy presents NO PROOF to back up his RIDICULOUS statements.

@geofftek Мы люди планеты Земля. Мы не разумны если не можем прийти к единому мнению.

@johndough08g ''Never'' is a huge word. If we start with globalising and seeing how similiar we are I think we will make a big ''leap'' forwards :) . People will need to have an agnostic way of thinking however I believe.

How funny that the opening line of this video started with a Religious statement... about sums up the whole Bush era of this video.

[thedeviluknow]

@tek1001 Oh noes! Someone saying let's all co-operate and be nice to each other! Communist! I think you good tek1001 might be the idiot in this case.

[alexsolosm]

Sometimes, the mentality of United States is what is preventing humanity from advancing into the next era. One of peace, not war and fear. Listen to them, their fear comes mainly from the possibility of what might happen, which is totally unpredictable.

[geofftek]

Perhaps we all have to get rid of the silly notion of separate nations, drop our borders and work together. I for one do not belong to a country, I belong to the global nation. We should have a federation of ALL nations of the world, but where all countries have a place are looked after and get a fair piece of the power. Why sit on the fence when you can break it down.

[omega4chimp]

we should be teaming up in space.
