Nation States Issues : Orbital Armageddon?

Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)

Orbital Armageddon?

The space research organization in NATIONSNAME has requested more government funding for space-related research and development, and the possibility of creating orbital weapons platforms has become a topic of intense debate.

I’ve encountered with 3 choices

1. General Kirby Dodinas says, “We should spend more. But not just on exploration. We should start developing Orbital Weapons! Space Marines! Armed Spacecraft! We would rule the region, and look cool doing it! Just divert some funding from environmental protection, and BAM! Sci-fi goodies!”

2. Noted Scientist and pacifist writer Hack al-Zahawi thinks otherwise, “No! Space is a place for peace! It’s the only place left we’ve got that we haven’t screwed up. Oh, the space program still needs funding, don’t get me wrong, but none of this ‘military in space’ stuff will do! We ought to divert funding from the military to education and space research instead!”

3. Fringe group leader Emily de Groot disagrees, “Space is a total waste of time. We should spend more on stuff people actually CARE about. Like voting rights and protecting the environment! Forget that fancy-schmancy space station!”

4. Dismiss the issue
