Us Adopts Tough New Space Policy

"The US has adopted a tough new policy aimed at protecting its interests in space and denying "adversaries" access there for hostile purposes.

The document - signed by President Bush - also says "freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power".

The document rejects any proposals to ban space weapons.

But the White House has said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space."

There's a lot of inexplicable impotent posturing in this administration. Which is basically just used to show their base the're "strong" and stuff, I guess, since they like weapons and don't care what people think, or something.

Man, I should totally have titled this something like "Terrorists in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!" Ah well, hindsight.
