Arming The Heavens

Reading from the US Air Force Transformation Flight Plan

One of TUC Radio’s best received programs was a reading from the Project for the New American Century document on Rebuilding America’s Defenses that predicted the war on Iraq. In that document the authors, among them Cheney and Rumsfeld, laid out a plan to place weapons in space in order to maintain US global reach and military superiority. Like other predictions in the PNAC document the arming of space is becoming a reality. In early 2005 the Air Force posted their Transformation Flight Plan on their web site. The plan discloses strategies for global dominance, refers to new space weapons based on laser and microwave, and makes the case for nuclear power in space.
