The United States may be taking a dangerous step towards Space Warfare with a new U.S. National Space Policy.

Experts say the new U.S. National Space Policy will push the world closer to a space arms race.

The release of the U.S. National Space Policy (NSP) on October 6 has worried many experts, who say the policy marks a strategic shift toward a more military-oriented, unilateral approach to space for the United States. They fear that the policy, if followed, could begin an arms race leading to catastrophic space warfare.
