The White House released its new space policy on October 6 just to show it is on top of all things crucial to the well being of the U.S. One of the interesting parts is its strong stance on space debris:
"The United States shall seek to minimize the creation of orbital debris by government and non-government operations in space in order to preserve the space environment for future generations."
It would be peachy if they were so eager to preserve the planetary surface environment for future generations. However, you can expect to see the space policy change as soon as one of President Cheney's major supporters finds a way to make money by creating such debris. "You call it space debris, we call it life".
