Distinguished Speakers Series
Space Weapons or Space Arms Control?

The WACA series on the weaponization of space aims to draw the public into
the ongoing debate on the role of space in the future of American national
security.  The discussion will include both a speaker supporting arms
control and the sanctity of space as an international weapons-free zone, and
a speaker promoting the utility of space weaponization as the next step in
our military capabilities.  The purpose of the series is to increase public
awareness of this important, and often overlooked, issue and how it may
effect our international relationships.
