CITIZEN ALERT v1.81WEAPONS IN SPACE

For an unsettling morning, you should check out this 1997 report from US Space Command:

Vision for 2020

It proposes a weaponization of Space by 2020 to control trade. With the technology marching on with more countries getting into space flight, the space elevator, and the private industry getting into space flights as well, the U.S. sees space as the next frontier that will see trade therefore we need a lot of guns there. The page 17 illustration is a little disturbing with a "laser beam" coming out of a satellite pointed at Earth.

I'm still researching the authentication of names on this report like General Estes who supposedly retired in 1967. What he's doing on this report I have no idea. Rumsfeld merged USSPACECOM with USSTRATCOM back in 2002 I think, effectively masking it from having a website. I know from past reports that Mr. Tech Head - Rumsfeld is pretty gung ho about putting weapons in space, so it worries me that this stuff has been shoved under the radar.
