Space arms race ignites

Space militarization will lead to endless troubles, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:

Kevin P. Chilton, the commander of US Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, wrote in an article entitled "Securing space" in the Los Angeles Times that "Space systems are vital components of our security, society and economy".

"It is vital that we modernize current systems - many are decades old - to help meet the increased military and civilian demand for space capabilities."
