SUMMARY:For Heaven's Sake: Examining the UK's Militarisation of Space webin
 ar
DESCRIPTION:Drone Wars UK and CND's webinar will examine the UK's militaris
 ation of space\, how we got here\, and how the peace movement should respo
 nd.\n\nAlthough the UK’s space programme began in 1952\, until recently 
 it has had very limited impact. However\, as the commercial space sector h
 as expanded and the cost of launches has decreased\, the UK government is 
 now treating space as an area of serious interest. Over the past two years
  we have seen the setting up of UK Space Command\, the publication of a De
 fence Space Strategy outlining how the MoD will "protect the UK’s nation
 al interests in space” and the announcement of a portfolio of programmes
  for developing space assets and infrastructure. Over the summer of 2022\,
  the UK MoD plans its first UK space launch from the UK.\n\nRegister for t
