  • Crowded space: why the increasing militarisation of space could risk nuclear war

    Webinar

    The increasing militarisation of space is contributing to a wider problem: it's becoming dangerously crowded. Currently there are 27,000 human-made objects floating in space, and there are plans for this number to increase sharply.

This includes satellites, ground-based stations and new technologies such as armed drones, controlled through satellites. Not surprisingly, a crowded space has major implications for security, including increasing the risk of nuclear war. Find out more in this webinar.

  • Keep Space For Peace Week

    This Year we are Highlighting Opposition to the “Golden Dome” The US military preparations for global war continue – on land, at sea, in the air and in space. Wars cannot be fought these days without support from space systems, and the aimof the U.S. Space Force is to ensure that it controls outer space and the Earth below. Trump’s provocative plan to build a ‘Golden Dome’ unmbrella over North Amrica would cost several trillion dollars and require even more cuts in social spending. If the system ever worked (which is unlikely) it would be a key component of Pentagon...
