In a rush to seize "the new high ground," the United States is moving forward
on plans to place weapons in space. This represents a significant break from
the long-standing international policy of restraint toward arming the heavens.
This shift has profound strategic, political, and economic implications. The
time is now for a vigorous national debate.
Is the weaponization of space inevitable? If so, what will be the consequences?
If not, how can "shooter" in space be prevented? Arming the Heavens explores the range of visions from those who seek to preserve space as a "weapons-free zone" to
those who would make the U.S. military commander-in-chief of the cosmos.
Format: Arming the Heavens is a 20-minute educational documentary available on DVD and VHS.
