Modern warfare, such as the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan and attacks on Pakistan, uses Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and GPS-guided bombs. Directed by space satellites, and remotely controlled far from the battlefield, these weapons are responsible for massive civilian casualties.
In the 2003 “shock and awe” attack on Iraq, 70% of the weapons used by the Pentagon were directed to their targets by space technology. And many of the military bases we in the No-bases Network fight against are used on a daily bases to prepare for or take part in space warfare.
We in the NO-Bases Network say it’s time to open our eyes and STOP the military’s use of space for war on Earth. It is time to preserve space for peace and to end war. That's why we support the Keep Space for Peace Week of protest! Join the Keep Space for Peace Week of protest by organising a local protest or activity during that week, and tell us about it on this website.
