America Wants To Control Outer Space!

The US has adopted a tough new policy aimed at protecting its interests in space and denying "adversaries" access there for hostile purposes.

The document - signed by President Bush - also says "freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power".

The document rejects any proposals to ban space weapons.

But the White House has said the policy does not call for the development or deployment of weapons in space.

Am I the only one who finds this worrying?

Maybe they want to restrict access to space so that we don't find out the 'Star Wars' program does in fact exist?

If not now, then definitely in the future!

Americans eh? Where's the Borg when you need 'em!
