Anytime now some fool will come in and claim how China is going to militarise NEO (Near Earth Orbit). How is sending 2 guys in an essentially Soyeuz capsule to do some experiments 'militarising' space?

I'll bite, and be that "fool"

Someone is going to start to militarize space sooner or later. My bet is it will be the U.S., but regardless of who starts it, everyone with the capability will HAVE to follow suit, or risk being marginalized in this new frontier.

So, yes...China will eventually help militarize NEO. :)

Oh God, militarize space!

We had a speaker come into our school who was all like, "Don't militarize space, 'they' don't like it!" And we're all like, "WTF? 'They'?"

Anyhow, he revealed this big conspiracy on how the UN has resolved to not allow the militarization of space because 'they' won't like guns in space. And 'they' might obliterate us. He also gave us a website, but I really thought it was a load seeing as to how 'they' was never specified.

'They´' = not Russians :P
