Rogozin: USA “opening Pandora’s box” by statements on space weapons

If US President Donald Trump when proposing to create a separate military space force meant deployment of weapons in the space, then the USA “is opening Pandora’s box,” Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin has written in his Facebook account.

Speaking to the marine corps at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Trump announced that the US might need a military space force in future as a separate military branch.

According to Trump, the national space strategy “recognizes that space is a war-fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea. We may even have a Space Force.”

“We have the Air Force. We’ll have the Space Force. We have the Army, the Navy,“ SpaceNews quote him as saying.
