Participants express curiosity about the implications of these terms, particularly concerning military applications and potential health effects. The bill did not pass in its original form, leading to debates about the existence and seriousness of such weapons. Some contributors dismiss the bill's content as conspiracy-driven, while others raise concerns about the military's interest in mind control and energy-based weapons. Overall, the conversation reflects a mix of skepticism and intrigue regarding the implications of advanced weaponry and government oversight in space.

Dayle Record said:
The microwave technology that, shall we charitably say, warms the skin, is well described as a weapon for crowd control or perimeter defense.

Microwave radiation wouldn't warm the skin until it reached a very high energy density. Long before reaching high power the microwaves would have a wide range of other affects that would make it the dumbest crowd control device ever envisioned.

Kucinich and Welsh are hardly the most knowledgeable people on space and war. At least reference someone who's an acknowledged expert. Try this link to James Oberg's site. http://www.jamesoberg.com/index.html You'd probably be most interested in his articles on National Space Policy.

While you may not agree with all of his viewpoints, at least his info on what is feasible and unfeasible and what types of technologies are most likely to be deployed is a lot more reliable than Welsh's.

For the most part, I find his opinions about weapons in space to be more realistic than Kucinich's and Welsh's, as well. (Okay, that's a big understatement - I've thought Kucinich was a flake ever since his days as Cleveland mayor back in 1980 or so.)
