Pax Americana and the Weaponization of Space 2/6

'Star Wars is no longer science fiction'. The prospect of Earth being ruled from space is no longer science-fiction. The dream of the original Dr. Strangelove, Wernher von Braun (from Nazi rocket-scientist to NASA director) has survived every US administration since WW2 and is coming to life. Today the technology exists to weaponize space, a massive American industry thrives, and nations are maneuvering for advantage.

PAX AMERICANA tackles this pivotal moment. Are war machines already orbiting Earth? Can treaties keep space weapons-free? Must the World capitulate to one super-cop on the global beat?

With startling archival footage and unprecedented access to US Air Force Space Command, this elegant, forceful documentary reveals the state of play through generals, space-policy analysts, politicians, diplomats, peace activists, and hawks.

..ehm... what did that french dude say?

[Karestasse]

In the introduction you can see the ludicrously hypocritical ideals of American 'peace'. In which the weaponisation of sea is to safeguard "peaceful interests". Was the invasion of Iraq a peaceful interest, what about Vietnam? Again, the United States wishes to force everyone else to conform to what IT defines "peaceful interests", but does not extend these same rules to itself. We therefore conclude that "peaceful interests" translates to the ability of USA to have the freedom of hegemony

"Police the heavens for the good of all", I suppose that would work if the heavens were filled with just ONE god, but its not so how can it be for the good of all?

lulz... "used laser to determine the how far the star is". -This is impossible, and to range a satellite you just use radar: you don't need laser.

In response to the question; "who owns space?"

We all do, dimwit - yet no one. It's a universal thing, not yours to f it up however you see fit. Quit f'ing up our space and the planet!

Do these people think about what they want to say, or to they just blather out what they've been brainwashed to think? [rhetorical]
