I say let's research, test and deploy space weapons. We are not the only one intelligence species in the unlimited universe. Sometime in the future we will encounter other species and conflict in space are going to occure and we need to be ready for it. I don't want to throw rock at the enemy in the outer space.

Thank you for your comment! Do you think the U.S. should do this unilaterally, or should they do so in cooperation with other world powers?

That Senator needs to check his massive ego at the door before spouting his arrogant nonsense.

america and Israel.....hmm,,,,,very clear

It is also funny that every single nation on this planet agrees to make space weapons illegal. The only country that voted against this is the United States, that in terms makes me wonder if America are up to something, why is America the only nation in the UN to vote against the Anti-Space Weapon. Since USA voted against a peaceful SPACE, CHINA said BRING IT ON and so did russia.

I think that aliens are more peaceful than us. Humans are naturally violence, so we humans would perceive others as violence. If we humans would look at things in another perspective, then i think we would find out that the universe is a lot more peaceful than we humans think. Look at human history, we are naturally violent.
