Summary
The global economy's growing dependence on space technology is
reigniting the debate over the military's function in space,
particularly its role in denying enemies the ability to use the
ultimate high ground for nefarious purposes. Stimulated by the new
political leadership emerging in the United States, the escalating
space race will turn the final frontier into a new battleground in
the 21st century.
Analysis
On Jan. 11 the Commission to Assess U.S. National Security Space
Management and Organization is to release its findings after more
than a year of study. Established by members of Congress
concerned that preparations for the space age are inadequate, the
commission has the potential to forcefully and immediately impact
American policy.
The commission was led by Donald Rumsfeld, President-elect George
W. Bush's nominee for secretary of defense, who has pledged to
make the "defense of space assets" a top priority. The commission
will find the new U.S. administration highly receptive to
accelerating the space race with military projects and
government-assisted programs for civilian purposes.
The trend toward a larger international presence in space, and
the associated risks that come with heavy reliance on space
systems, has moved the United States closer than ever - both
politically and technologically - to crossing the boundary
between using space to support military operations and making
space a combat zone. The incoming U.S. administration, and its
unfolding world view, will run right up against this sacrosanct
boundary in international relations and may even cross it,
irreversibly altering the strategic landscape.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
