Waihopi Spy Base Protest

Wensley Centre 3 Henry Street, Blenheim, Blenheim, New Zealand

Since our last protest (2021) the look of the spy base has drastically changed, with the 2022 removal of the two giant domes and the satellite dishes they concealed. They were officially deemed obsolete.

Keep Space for Peace Week – The Dangers of Crowded Orbits

Lower Earth orbit (LEO) is becoming dangerously crowded and NASA scientists fear growing space debris and likely cascading collisions in orbit. This, called the Kessler Syndrome, would endanger space activities and the use of satellites which so much technology relies on to function. The Global Network is involved in a legal action to pressure the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to follow the law and conduct environmental impact studies before approving the launching of satellites into space. In 1985-88 there were about 5000-6000 objects in orbit. Currently there are roughly 27,000 human-made objects in space Elon Musk’s Space X has launched...
