📖 Narrative

"Treaty signed by the US says space is for peaceful purposes The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, ratified by both the US and China, mandates that celestial bodies, including the moon, be used "exclusively for peaceful purposes," prohibits nuclear weapons in orbit, and dictates that nations remain "liable for damage caused by their space objects." A renewed effort to strengthen UN anti-militarization rules occurred two years ago following US intelligence indicating Russia was constructing a space-based weapon. Russia vetoed a joint US-Japanese resolution at the UN that called on all nations to refrain from deploying nuclear arms or weapons of mass destruction in space."
