UN Security Council rejects Russia-backed resolution on banning weapons in space
The United States says that Russia last week launched a satellite that could be part of weaponizing space. That's a possible future global trend that members of the U.N.
You're viewing a single thread.
The Security Council resolution drafted by Russia rivaled one backed by the U.S. and Japan that failed last month. The rival drafts focused on different types of weapons, with the U.S. and Japan specifying weapons of mass destruction. The Russian draft discussed all types of weapons.
Why is the US so keen to allow conventional weapons in space?

The Moon Wars of 2055 and 2072, and the Martian invasion of 2103.
The hilarious part is that the rule of law doesn't apply to most high level "intelligence" and "national security" operations, and even if moves are made to apply it they just pass a new bill to make the historic crimes retroactively legal, so all of this is just showboating and won't actually prevent superpowers from doing it anyway — there have never been any consequences remotely adequate to fit the crimes.
The plan is already to decimate moon settlers with nuclear meltdowns.
Really highlights how fucking dumb the elite are.
It's not like one side of the moon is always facing the sun, which has been the chief argument against solar panels for decades and decades (that being: the sun goes down and then solar panels dont generate, so an electric grid that is mostly used at night isnt feasable).
on average night on the moon is 15 earth days. it’s not trivial to store 15 days worth of solar energy. nothing to do with elitism whatsoever.
I would think the difference in air conditioning, especially big commercial buildings, would more than make up the balance.
Overall... I agree with your take.
I counter with electricity costs of keeping them AC units at the clean room mouth running 24/7 vs in presence of new contaminant and how dust blows both ways and mold tends to blow one way.
I missed that we were talking about being on the moon. Lmao
