Weapons in Space
The United States’ “National Space Policy” has changed over the last fourteen years. From 1996, when it spoke of “concluding agreements governing activities in space” to 2007, when it most recently declared, “Proposed arms control agreements must not impair the rights of the United States to conduct research, development, testing and operations in space – and if indicated, to deny these rights to an adversary.”
