Barrett, Rogers consider declassifying secretive space programs

More Secrets and Lies!

"The Defense Intelligence Agency has made efforts to make more unclassified information available to the public through a series of reports on the military capabilities of other nations. Earlier this year the agency released a report on the threats to space that was entirely unclassified, although that approach limited what information the agency could reveal.


For Barrett, that same approach to declassification needs to be taken for space.

“America is the best there is in space. Yet, as we watch the trajectory of potential enemies, we see that the relationship is changing. America is also the biggest user of space," she said. "Our way of life is more dependent on space than any other nation’s, and our capability in space was predominantly built at a time when we thought space was a benign environment.”"

Erek,

I have to say I enjoy you as a news aggregator here. The articles and news items are varied and interesting. Often I don't see them appear elsewhere from other sources I check which clearly have a different angle of interest to what you have brought here.

I was cautiously hopeful that the US Government might begin rolling back the curtain on the classified space programs when the official Space Force branch of military finally got going. And seeing how congress just took the first steps to officially authorizing the creation of this new military branch, it is encouraging to see some indications that things may begin going the direction of disclosure of our current capabilities and assets.
