Militarization and Mars

Militarization and The Moon-Mars Program: Another Wrong Turn in Space?

The article I have posted discusses the United States Government's newest space program. This article was published by former NASA analyst Richard Cook of Global Research, a Canadian non profit organization. Cook believes that the United States is going against its 1958 promise to use space for "peaceful purposes and the benefit of mankind". To prove his point, Cook highlights NASA's policy and actions from the Reagan administration till today. Cook is very skeptical of US intentions in space, and he believes that the US will colonize the Moon in order to control access on and off of earth. Cook also points out the blunders of the International Space Station. Overall this article is not skeptical of the technology to go to the Moon and Mars, but instead the intentions of those who are capable of going.
