There are four things I don't want the UN to touch.. Our country, our military, space, and the oceans.

I predict that this UN org will start issuing decrees now that someone won the X Prize.

Until now "manned commerical space flight" was really someone renting out payload space on an existing governmental space program. Now that corporations / individuals have a self-sufficient manned space program, that cannot be permited without some level of governmental and / or UN interference.

After the election we should find a way to get out the UN Space Treaty.

An outer space affair would be illogical due to the expense of the trips.

The Air Force and NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) and not UN should handle all our negotiations and deals with those extraterrestrials...

Isn't that what's it's all about??? ;)

What? They're no longer happy f'n up our planet? They actually want to mess up outer space now? Fine, I say they should all travel there on a fact finding mission! (on a french Ariane 5 rocket - boom!)

This non-governmental organization exists to keep a book with the names and orbits of artificial satellites that the party that launched deems to tell them about. They are taking every document that even looks like a space treaty as justification for their existence. Same kind of thing is happening throughout the UN and the EU and wherever authoritarians congregate.

We must never have dealings with this NGO. Sooner or later this creeping sovereignty will have gone too far and then Attila the Hun will have a couple of busy years cleaning up the mess.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just go to some low-rent motel?

Just had a sudden vision of residents of future space colonies declaring independence, no taxation without representation, etc. It'll happen.
