US Finally Backs International Space "Code of Conduct" 116
coondoggie writes "Perhaps it was the concern that the nearly 14 ton Russian Mars probe would land smack-dab on the White House or maybe they just came to their senses, but the U.S. State Department today said it would indeed work with the European Union and other countries to develop a formal space code of conduct. Of particular concern is the growing amount of space trash and how the world can go about eliminating or controlling the problem. There is also the desire to keep space free of military weaponry."

Well, they only missed out a couple of words. Insert "anybody else's" between "of" and "military".

Chivalry is dead. In the middle ages to high Renaissance, there was real honor among space, a probe would hold orbit at a respectable distance, a satellite would orbit the Earth in endless revolutions, all for the love of a woman. Now, what do we have. A woman President, and space probes beaming GPS data at commoners. Chivalry is dead.

How about non-military weaponry?
Having my own private orbiting death ray would be great for salary negotiations.
