We have enough to worry about on earth

DON'T WE have enough problems here on earth without turning space into a shooting gallery?

Space weapons would not bring the United States any security. They would offer no protection against terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change, recession, food and water shortages, collapse of the infrastructure, or any of the other real dangers that we face. The financial cost (hundreds of billions of dollars) and the political cost (a new arms race with Russia and China) are indefensible.
