In other news, the Bush administration has issued the first full revision of US space policy in a decade. The Washington Post reports the new National Space Policy rejects future arms-control agreements and asserts the right to deny access to anyone “hostile to U.S. interests.” The new policy is increasing concerns the US is seeking to revive plans to introduce space-weaponry. Michael Krepon, co-founder of the Henry L. Stimson Center, said: “The Clinton policy opened the door to developing space weapons, but that administration never did anything about it. The Bush policy now goes further.”
