Remember Hiroshima-Nagasaki: No wars in the Heavens
Posted: 28th August 2026
Keep Space for Peace Week October 3-10
The Global Network’s annual Keep Space for Peace Week comes at a time when the Trump administration is moving to spend trillions of ‘unavailable dollars’ on his new pet project – Golden Dome.
As we remember the last big US military development of nuclear weapons dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we now face the latest twist in the big-tech agenda for war in and from space.
In the poster above Pistol Pete Hegseth declares that the US must dominate space and has no ‘interest in orbital equity or orbital parity’. These words signal a dangerous declaration of coming space wars against nations like China, Russia, India and more.
Of course this will cost the US an arm and a leg at the very time our nation is $39.8 trillion and counting in debt.
The American Physical Society has estimated that the cost of Golden Dome would be trillions. Trump has said he wants to add Canada to the coverage area and even hinted adding Europe. Each addition adds massive costs to the proposed project which only makes the aerospace industry happy.
I heard Trump recently state that the Congress must vote to turn over Medicare and Medicaid coverage to the states because the feds can’t afford these vital programs due to our current wars. States don’t have the funds either!
This brutal austerity agenda includes privatizing the Veterans Administration, Post Office, Social Security and selling off national parks and forests.
We urge you to help the Global Network during Space Week to illuminate these serious dangers and contradictions of the Golden Dome and the broader militarization and nuclearization of space.
One good resource is our YouTube library of videos on nearly every aspect of the space issue. It would help to share some of these between now and October 3-10. Just click here
We thank you for your support for our work to keep space for peace. Please keep in touch.
