Unfortunately, I missed this protest. But good to know that #BruceGagnon and others are bringing attention to the #MilitarizationOfSpace!

Oct 24 'Maine Space Conference' protest news release

Bruce Gagnon: "The #MaineSpaceConference is promoting the militarization of space. Efforts are being made to test #hypersonic missiles at the former #LoringAirForceBase. #bluShitAerospace is receiving funding from the U.S. #SpaceForce to launch 'dual use' (military/civilian) mini-satellites into dangerously congested #LowerEarthOrbit. [#LEO].

"Promises of lots of jobs, little to no #environmental impacts, and peaceful exploration of space are the standard claims made at a myriad of potential new launch sites the #USMilitary is exploring around the world.

"The U.S. and #Israel have been blocking a #SpaceWeaponsBan treaty (#PAROS) at the United Nations for more than 25 years.

"Our nation cannot afford to pay for a new expensive arms race in outer space."

They cover the history of attempts by peace activists to prevent the militarization of space, and the various treaties that have attempted to protect space as a global commons, governed by peacetime international law:
