View, CA Lines: 8 The article I'm replying to is too long to include here, but the basic idea is that you can blast Earth from space with mass drivers. This sort of thing is the reason we must keep weapons out of space. If we don't, a lot of people are going to suffer. One of them might be you. The U.S.S.R. has proposed a treaty banning weapons from space. This is currently before the U.N. I believe it is strongly in our interest to negotiate, sign, ratify, monitor and enforce such a treaty. Let's not blow it, this is our last chance.
