If you call the Jim Bohannon show tonight with that question, perhaps he can explain about the 'provide for the common defense and the 'in aid of interstate commerce' clauses. Perhaps you will find his explanation sufficiently clear.

Maybe so, but the militarization of space is against current treaties, this last shuttle mission was sold as a SCIENCE mission, so now NASA is a branch of the military (providing defence) and there's no such thing anywhere as "aiding" interstate commerce, only regulating it.

Stationing nuclear bombs in orbit certainly is, but militarization is too vague. There are already military satellites in all kinds of orbits from all countries capable of launching satellites. Did you call Bohannon?
