Kamala Harris’s Latest Mistake: Giving Russia and China More Control over Space

The Biden administration is unilaterally banning American anti-satellite missile testing without any sort of agreement that Russia and China will do the same, all to prevent a problem created exclusively by those authoritarian countries.

“Simply put, these tests are dangerous, and we will not conduct them,” Vice President Kamala Harris said at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. “These weapons are intended to deny the United States our ability to use our space capabilities by destructing, destroying our satellites, satellites which are critical to our national security. These tests, to be sure, are reckless, and they are irresponsible. These tests also put in danger so much of what we do in space.”
