Militarization and The Moon-Mars Program: Another Wrong Turn in Space?
Militarization and The Moon-Mars Program: Another Wrong Turn in Space?
by Richard C. Cook http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.p...t icleId=4554 Global Research, January 22, 2007 The way NASA has started its new moon-to-Mars exploration program, the October 2006 White House announcement of a new national space policy, and subsequent statements by the State Department raise grave concerns about whether a new push to militarize space has begun. Events are pointing to an aggressive extension of U.S. supremacy beyond the stratosphere reminiscent of Reagan administration actions in the 1980s. Then it was the militarization of the space shuttle and the start-up of the Strategic Defense Initiative-"Star Wars"-which were gaining momentum until space weapons technology testing halted with the space shuttle Challenger disaster. snip Richard C. Cook was the NASA analyst who testified on the dangers of the solid rocket booster O-ring seals after the Challenger disaster. His book, Challenger Revealed: An Insider's Account of How the Reagan Administration Caused the Greatest Tragedy of the Space Age, has been published by Thunder's Mouth Press. Currently he is an independent writer and consultant, his website is at www.richardccook.com. |
