If, at the present time, the policy-makers of the world's militaries rule that they attack unknown craft in the earth's skies, then we are showing to the rest of the universe the barbaric and hostile nature of our civilization. Are we sending them messages to come and then attacking them?

I hope not. Surely any sane person can see that it would be impossible to win a war against extraterrestrials with all their technology. Why then start one? And, I hope they are not now deploying SDI WEAPONS IN SPACE; or if they already have, to stop and disable them. Weapons in space were outlawed a long time ago.

Anyway, I don't think that earthlings could pose any real threat to extraterrrestrials, since they have been monitoring our actions for so long and probably have the ability to override any command made and turn our weapons back on ourselves.


Just tested, Saturday, Oct.2, - a "star wars defense" - The Raytheon-built Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle, carried aloft on a booster rocket, successfully destroyed a Minuteman missile over the Pacific.

I think that "exoatmospheric kill vehicles" are a very bad idea. What if this should escalate, and nation competed against nation to put weapons in the skies? Don't you think that weapons in space should be banned?

What I've read at most sites says that the kill vehicle runs into the missile. This is different than what I remember seeing before about this program's goals. I think they might be using particle beams to achieve the kill. (Maybe not, but spaced-based lasers are the next step in this program.)

alright yall must not read the newspaper. some time in august i read this on the front page of usa today, we(america) have 3 "official" 747's that carry around 1 laser a piece. this laser can shoot down a missile(of any kind) over the horrizon at 50,000 ft in the air the beem has guidance mirrors at the end of the "barrel" as the laser shoots through the atmosphere it sends back signals to move the laser and keep it on course. the laser is 18 in at its base and 54 in at the end or target. they fire the lasre at the target and it takes appox. five minutes to blow the missle out of the air. why waste money with a machine you could only use once when you have cool play toys like that???

I agree that this enormously expensive program is useless for the purpose stated - defense in case of all-out nuclear war, though it may be useful against a lone missile. I'm looking for the other purposes not stated. This policy is pushing us towards a new arms race, one the US would probably win, but not the outcome we might wish. It is also an abrogation of the previous ABM treaty, leaving us with no real treaties at all.

Maybe I should have said a lot more dangerous. What's the difference? Anyway, now we are in the process of putting up satellites that can destroy other satellites easily. And, the rest of the world has to watch and try to prepare themselves also. I'm sure Russia must be very nervous if it thinks we will take out their satellite communications. They have lots of nuclear warheads too and are no longer constrained by these negated treaties. And so the stakes are raised in this deadly game. Weapons in space and no treaties are definitely not making the world safer.

Nuclear weapons dropped from space take less than half the time, and you might not see one coming. Maintenance in a short period of time would not be needed.
EKVs and laser satellites would also be able to strike precise targets on earth without resorting to nuclear devices.
I think we need to keep weapons out of space.

You would have to have inspectors at all space launches to check the payload. Noncompliance might lead to war, but there are other methods to punish nations, and satellites can be brought down by some of the weapons we have that are earth-based or attached to jet airplanes (lasers for example). Filling the skies with satellite weapons will not make us more secure. We would not be able to defend ourselves well with this "Star Wars" shield. It is very expensive yet couldn't keep all missiles out. Even if it did destroy many missiles, that debris will fall to earth sooner or later - catastrophic in itself.
There are many means of the delivery of death from space. Even balloons could carry deadly weapons into our skies. But, this shield (SDI or THAAD) is not likely to help much. In fact, it encourages more weapons in space and a stronger attack and the option of an all-out first-strike. A new arms race in space is the road that we are on

It is much different. Never before have weapons been used above the earth in this way as far as I know. But, this was their plan 40 years ago and they stuck to it, even though it has this fatal flaw.

Well from the response (or lack of it), I guess the American public is confident that laser weapons in space will help save them and that they also feel comfortable with weapons in orbit. (hmmm. This could be the start of something big.)
How does the rest of the world feel about this?

Anyway, if the North Koreans or some other country were to send a nuclear missile to the US, what do you the the US would do? Our military would probably make that country a nuclear wasteland. What country do you think would provoke such an attack?

I'm not saying that we should not develop the science, just that we shouldn't deploy weapons in space. It sets a bad precedent. And, let's not let anyone place weapons in space. That's what those "out-dated treaties" (to quote George W. Bush) are for, to try to establish a peaceful world.

All too many people can sit in their houses and say "let's go to war", thinking they will be fortunate and that it will not harm them but someone else. In the event of a next world war, it would be probable that there would be few survivors.

Many times I think that if I were God I would not have created the human race. And, that thought is also shown in Genesis 6:5&6: "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." But, the God did create mankind for His own purpose and now harvest time is near.

What some people don't seem to perceive is that life itself is worth more than money, and money can't replace it. But across the earth as a whole, life seems cheap and of low esteem, and the rich own the lives of the poor. Without money life is generally despised. Money is almost everything in our society. People need it to survive. The National Missile Defense is now estimated at costing over $100 billion. I guess you know already, or I should warn you, that money seems to be the only thing that matters across America and most the rest of the world, but with the love of money comes greed and corruption. "Must you value what others value, and fear what others fear?"

"And he (Jesus) said unto them, Take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." Luke 12:15 KJV

And, what is the conscience of a nation that will spend many billions of dollars on weapons of destruction, but causes their own people to become homeless and leaves them to starve to death? It's a sad commentary on society when the rich get richer by destroying the poor and leaving the earth a barren desolate waste. From what I've heard, it's always been a "dog eat dog" world where violence and the threat of violence are all anyone understands. And, I'm not foolish enough to think that people will change soon. Many people feel that they will advance themselves by treading all over someone else, and history has proven them right many times. There must be about a billion petty tyrants in the world today, but it doesn't have to be that way. And, there are many mindless sheep who never question the veracity or authority of the words of those who derive their power from money.

Americans dropped the ball on freedom when during WWII our military adopted the policies and tactics of the Nazis in order to beat them at their own game. In 1947, Americans gave up their right to know what was going on when the National Security Act was passed. Soon after Roswell, when they saw the lasers and advanced technology, the "Illuminati" decided to make treaties to delay development by other countries and came up with the "Star Wars" plan when they would abandon all treaties. The CIA didn't like JFK, so they assassinated him. Bill Clinton was the last elected President of the United States when he left office and George W. Bush was put into office by the Supreme Court. You have lost the right to have your votes count. And, Americans, knowingly or unknowingly, have agreed to all this. Now we have Homeland Defense - another exchange of power - freedom for security. Although seeking to punish the US, Bin Laden has given Bush the gift of limitless, unending war.

It's very possible that extraterrestrials caused the failure of that test in 2000 by putting a field around the circuit board so that the EKV did not receive the signal to deploy, but I don't expect that even that would stop those who are creating this new technology of warfare.


I don't have any hope for peace on earth until Jesus returns either.

As you may know, the military successfully tested an "Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle" on Oct. 2, 1999. The next step in this program is to place laser beam weapons in orbit (in defiance of our treaty). I was wondering if this is of concern to any of you. Weapons in space would seem to me to make the world an even more dangerous place.

If this goes forward, won't it create a totalitarian one-world government that is governed by the ones who are at the controls of this machinery? I think only if it doesn't start a nuclear world war.

You can see that my position on this then is that the rhetoric for a missile defense system alone could be enough cause for any country in the world to start putting weapons in space, especially if the ABM Treaty is abandoned and the US itself is the first. And, that before any missile defense could be fully operational the US could also be bombarded by thousands of nuclear missiles in a first strike attempt. Some other people might say that war is inevitable. IMHO, this certainly raises the risks.

Space was supposed to be the last frontier, one to be entered into without weaponry - as agreed by most nations on earth. (Outer Space Treaty) This is not just the beginning of a "limited missile defense shield"; this is a line you shouldn't buy. It is the start of an arms race in space - the militarization of space. The US rulers seem to think that it is a game which they will win, and they seemingly don't care much about the consequences to world peace. They want the right to call down fire-power from the heavens too. NMD is just the start, and you can call it anything you like. Offense and defense are much alike. The goal is control and conquest. ... How hard could it be to overcome this "shield"? - answer: not very... You should not underestimate any country's (China, Russia, etc.) reaction. The technology can be available to anyone, once it appears. ...

The point is - who is going to take over control of space and by that control of the whole world? And, technology is sold to the highest bidder. That's capitalism. Now Russia, China, N.

I think having treaties to keep weapons out of space is better than having weapons in space. It just doesn't seem to me to be in the best interests of the human race to escalate militarily to an arms race in space. Nor does it seem necessary to me for the US to become the sole dictatorship of the world by taking military control of space. It seems more likely than not to lead to warfare and conflict. It could possibly pit the US against all other nations. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 would have to be another international treaty from which this administration would have to withdraw.

>>"We must deal with today's problems as they exist today. And that includes defense against Ballistic Missiles."<<

So to counter a threat that doesn't yet exist (a missile from NKorea, Iran, or Iraq) with a multi-billion dollar system that won't work, we have to enrage a country that does have the capability (meaning China) and start an arms race that actually lessens global security? We beat the drum for war when we needed to look for peaceful solutions to global problems. It was so nice, from the Bush administration's perspective, for Bin Laden to attack America. Now Bush's vision of a security state with him at the helm is assured, and his cronies use this to get money and power while the nation goes bankrupt. Why didn't they get Osama when he was at Tora Bora? Because they can use him to get people to back Bush and the heck with the American way of freedom and democracy?

Imagine this, China and Russia let the US spend itself into debt and use our resources chasing Muslim terrorists all over the world, doing a job for them that they approve. (And you can throw into the mix the USA going to war against Iraq to overthrow Hussein and take over his oil fields.) Then the US builds a worthless NMD and when the US puts up space lasers, they make their own pre-emptive strike with hundreds of nuclear missiles and then we see the real test of our anti-missile defenses. When hundreds of cities and bases in the US are gone there won't be much use for the military except revenge and to try to restore order in our country in the aftermath. (And with Russia having all those nuclear missiles, who's to say that they will not target them towards the destruction of China's enemies, on their behalf?)

(I don't know, but the way things are going, I expect that the US will be at war with the entire Muslim world and China very soon ... Out of all that I've written on this site, just these words here by themselves should at least be worth more than money. But why say anything more? Even if US troops kill a billion Muslims and then get their asses handed to them in a basket by the 2 million man Chinese army and America lies in ruins, who cares? So go ahead on with your bad selves and excuse me if I sound a bit sarcastic. Just don't say that I didn't warn you. I've heard many people say, how could a good God let this or that happen? I think the Creator God has judged mankind and found them to be completely worthless, and will let mankind destroy themselves in their own stupidity. But if the God were to destroy all the rich, arrogant oppressors and all the wicked sinners, it would be entirely justified. And, that's why there is a "lake of fire" among other things mentioned in the scriptures, for man has a spirit as well as a body and mind.)
