Printer Friendly(Worthy News) – Defending the land, sea and airspace of NATO members may soon no longer suffice. At the organization’s Brussels summit this week, NATO defense ministers have for the first time ever discussed branching out into space defense.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has previously insisted that “we do not want to militarize space.” Instead, NATO now says it merely wants to get an “overview” of the current situation.
The alliance says that today, conflicts are being fought on unconventional battlefields, such as the internet — or one day, even outer space. That’s why it is now looking into what space defense could entail. The alliance says that there is the danger that nations may station weapons in the Earth’s orbit, or directly attack satellites. Indeed, diplomats say satellites play an important role not just for military purposes but also in civilian life. Moreover, NATO is concerned it could lose its technological advantage over China or Russia. [ Source:Deutsche Welle (Read More…) ]
