Challenges loom as Obama seeks space weapons ban | U.S. | Reuters
Presumably this would include the banning of weapons that disable satellites?
What about spy satellites?
Are these considered to be weapons?

And we should all fight like gentleman by standing in lines and taking turns shooting volleys at one another. That is how wars are fought.:roll:
This ban is senseless. If space weapons become practical and/or useful then China, Russia, the US, or any other major power is going to build them regardless of treaties.
Treaties go out the window when inevitable war occurs. The winners prosecute the losers for broken promises.
I don't know man. This seems to be holding up quite well: South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty (1985) | Nuclear Arms Control Treaties | atomicarchive.com
I would like to see a Space Weapons ban.
Not me. When aliens come with their space weapons, how will we be able to defend ourselves without them? :doh Atleast I know that Captain will have his lightsaber handy- I'll just stick with him.

I've set my phaser to "stun".
If any hostile species comes to us, our nuclear weapons will be about as effective as bows and arrows.
Of COURSE weapons should be banned .
Please read.How is this South Pacific region a strategic location for nuclear weapons?
I would still argue that if for some reason nuclear weapons would become of vital importance in the area for some reason then a country may choose to remove itself from the treaty while trying to avoid foreign and domestic media condemnation.
That is, treaties are fairly useless in and of themselves without enforcement, which no strong country will readily submit itself to. A treaty violation merely helps others countries masquerade as having the high moral ground on an issue.

Better stick with me! I've got the germs. I can beat them.Not me. When aliens come with their space weapons, how will we be able to defend ourselves without them? :doh Atleast I know that Captain will have his lightsaber handy- I'll just stick with him.
Has hell frozen over and is that a pig flying outside my window? :shock: :lol:
:2wave:
no that's hell flying and a pig freezing over.
Duh
Please read.
Thank you for your time.
In fact, that is how we're likely to know that they -are- going to war with us.The pathetic part here, that Obama thinks that signing some document will prevent the weaponization of space.
IF, and God Forbid this happened, a war broke out between the USA and China, the first thing they'd do is go after our GPS, Com and Recon birds.
Yes, well, no one is really surprised.Obama gets a fail here.

Obama gets a fail here.
He who holds the high ground holds the advantage.I have no problem with this. In fact it is quite an intelligent move. This sets precedence that America will not be placing weapons in space and will not accept the placement of weapons in space by any foreign nation, and seeks other nations to follow. This removes the likelihood that the world will end up in the same situation that is currently is in with Nuclear weapons.
He who holds the high ground holds the advantage.
Space is the ultimate high ground.
