I'm with you Reiver. There's always an excuse to spend more resources on ways to destroy. I'm glad that the US is the only world superpower and am quite happy for it to stay that way. But I've yet to see any reason why space needs to be weaponised. All that will lead to is other countries (ahem, China) feeling threatened and thus dumping more money into their own weapon systems than they already are. It's all cold war b.s. to argue that they could possibly catch us so we need to have more, bigger, better weapons than someone could possibly, maybe, in the future acquire.
I'm not gonna say that we should all lay down our weapons, join hands, and sing kumbaya, but I don't think that increasing killing power or ability is a goal to be saught out. Does your government's defense spending outstrip your health spending? Should a you be spending more money to try to kill someone else then you do to make yourself healthier? Just some food for thought.
