And if we have to launch a nuke into space, and it fails to reach orbit, we not only have a radiation hazard to clean up or bury under concrete, but also an asteroid which will wipe us all out.Chemonation wrote:In such case , member states can launch missiles from the land bases rather than placing weapons in the outer space which can be threat to the entire world.

I'll also note that arms races have the silver lining of stimulating scientific discovery and technological advances.
Thirdly, we have member states who claim to occupy multiple planets. I'd imagine a large amount of their military budget is spent on a navy to protect those planets, and I believe you would struggle to get their support on this draft.
Obviously this is merely my own governments opinion on this matter, and whilst we dislike being opposed to a pretty well-reasoned draft, we will have to oppose this in it's current format. However, you are under no obligation to consider Hirota's opinion to be shared by the majority of the WA, and are free to continue your agenda.
I'll now yield the floor to other member states to contribute on their thoughts.

If it is found that member countries have military satellites, and have not been informed about not using it, then the World Assembly (WA) can ask the respective nation(s) to bring back those satellites back to earth and destroy them in the earth and not in space as it would lead to an increase in the amount of space debris.

And as Cinistra said, it would be impossible to destroy an asteroid hurtling towards earth with ground-based defenses. The only way those would work would be if the asteroid was already in the atmosphere, and if a ICBM was fired at it the asteroid would break up and still cause widespread destruction and nuclear fallout would also be a serious problem
