A Different View of China's ASAT Test
Gregory Kulacki and Jeffrey Lewis argued in a joint presentation that the common arguments about China's anti-satellite test—that the test was a shot across the bow of American space superiority or an attempt to force the U.S. into negotiations to restrict the development of space weaponry—are based on limited information and unreliable sources. Further, such explanations view China as a unified, rational decision maker, rather than a complicated bureaucracy in which conflicting interests compete for attention and resources, and mistakes can be made. Commentators and officials should be cautious in assessing Chinese intentions with limited information, Kulacki and Lewis advised at the Carnegie Endowment on November 13, 2007.

Space Race With China?
Before China carried out an anti-satellite test in January 2007, some U.S. policy-makers, including NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and the U.S. House China Working Group, advocated greater cooperation between the United States and China in space. After the test, which created a massive cloud of space debris that angered international space professionals and alarmed the American public, increased references to U.S.-China competition and hints of a new space race drowned out calls for cooperation.
Using the experience they gained from visiting China several times in the last eight months, analysts Jeffrey Lewis and Gregory Kulacki will evaluate the costs and benefits of cooperation and competition between the United States and China in light of the history of Chinese interest in ASAT...

The Danger of Weaponizing Outer Space
Mike Moore, Research Fellow, Independent Institute
(Mar 19, 2008 at the University of Texas at Austin, LBJ School of Public Affairs)
Mike Moore, a research fellow with the Independent Institute, discussed the current state of space weapon technology and warned that the U.S. is drifting toward a policy of space control that will lead to a new arms race. Acknowledging that space-based weapons are, at this point in time, technologically impossible, Moore focused on anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons and the threat that an arsenal of such weapons would pose due to their ability to disrupt communication and information systems.
Moore asserted that future worldwide problems that must be tackled, such as climate change, require a cooperation that will be completely undermined by a new...

What Do You Care
President Bush and company have hijacked the US government, the value of the US dollar is at an all time low, oil is at an all time high, the deficit is at an all time high, we're borrowing billions of dollars from China because of the deficit while we watched more and more manufacturing jobs sent overseas just so we can have toxic toys in time for Christmas. The Iraq occupation is a complete mess. US soldiers are coming home and being denied support/treatment from the veteran's administration. Osama bin Laden is still on the loose. Half a million people have killed each other in Darfur, HIV prevalence is still rising in most southern African countries, the ice caps are melting, innocent women and children are being murdered by US troops everyday and nobody seems to care.
Well, of...
