Nuclear Weapons in Space and Space Junk: Jacqueline Cabasso & Bruce Gagnon Jacquie Cabasso lists a new generation of nuclear weapons which are intertwined with space technologies. The US is currently designing and building new nuclear weapons. We have already had threats of use of nuclear weapons against Libya, Iraq, and Iran.
Bruce Gagnon describes how 110,000 pieces of space junk are orbiting the earth at 18,000 miles per hour. If we allow the Pentagon to test weapons in space, we will have so much more space junk that we will be not be able to get a rocket off the earth. Every single launch punches a hole into the atmosphere. We have 34 nuclear cores in space that will eventually fall down and spread their deadly toxin. Space must be protected like any other wilderness. Jacqueline Cabasso: Western States Legal Foundation Bruce Gagnon: Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space
