> “Russia has demonstrated a deliberate disregard for the security, safety, stability and long-term sustainability of the space domain for all nations,” Gen. James Dickinson, commander of U.S. Space Command, said. It's funny that a general and commander of a military organisation, from a country that started the militarisation of space, is saying this with a straight face. I love watching how the US tries to shape American public perception - one of the interesting things that I noticed when the US decided to create a military arm for outer space was how suddenly, US media was flooded with news from government sources on how the US military has had many unexplained "encounters" with UFO (with the media even hinting to their possible extra-terrestrial origins). a PR exercise this was quite interesting to see as it was a U-turn after denying for decades that UFOs are extra-terrestrial. Looks like they now want some of the gullible public to believe that militarisation of space is a step to protect them from future "alien" threats. (After all, any sane people will question the need for spending more money on a currently useless arm of the military.)
