http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty Something about humans is that peace in any area never seems to last. Knowing the nature of mankind, how long until the Outer Space Treaty is broken? Of course, this could've already broken it. Only if it got into orbit, however. Also, the military is also seeming using the X-37 as a spy spaceplane, so how long until we find actual weapons being used in space?
