	Outer space - Uncyclopedia
		Outer space refers to the large void which occupies the empty areas of the sky, outside of the boundaries of the Earth's personal space.
		The physical study of outer space is referred to as astrology (not to be confused with astronomology, an unrelated pseudo-science which centres around predicting the future).
		Outer space was, ostensibly, discovered by the first human ever, given how hard it would be to overlook such a monstrosity.

		Although it is a void, outer space may be thought of as an environment.
		The principal environmental characteristic of outer space is the vacuum, or nearly total absence of gas molecules.
		The gravitational attraction of large bodies in space, such as planets and stars, pulls gas molecules close to their surfaces leaving the space between virtually empty.

	Weapons in outer space - The Boston Globe
		Russia, which is pushing for a new treaty on such weapons, wanted countries to ``refrain from any practical activities aimed to place weapon systems in outer space while the international agreement on non-weaponization of outer space is being elaborated." Apparently the US reaction was only to harden its stance.
		Space issues are perhaps the most important Achilles' heel facing the US military.
		Instead of having a space architecture that consists of a few big satellites that are complex, expensive, and difficult to replace, the United States should move to a model consisting of many inexpensive micro-satellites that offer the same capability.

		It applies to the space facility, to a reasonable area around the facility (for safety purposes), and to all personnel in or near the facility, irrespective of nationality.
		Space objects occupy locations on a first-come, first-served basis, and personnel have the right to conduct their activities without the harmful interference of other states.

	International Legal Agreements Relevant to Space Weapons
		It is likely that the weaponization of space will begin in the foreseeable future unless it is hindered by organized, effective international opposition or the current US administration is replaced by an administration willing to cancel projects for weaponization of space in the face of considerable opposition from domestic proponents of weaponization.
		The first three articles of the treaty set general principles for the use of space; the rest of the articles are intended to guide the behavior of treaty parties.
		Repercussions from violating space law, such as lawsuits and international legal actions, should be included in the calculation of gains and losses from weaponization.

	Wide Awake in Outer Space
		On some space shuttle missions up to 50% of the crew take sleeping pills, and, over all, nearly half of all medication used in orbit is intended to help astronauts sleep.
		Even so, space travelers average about 2 hours sleep less each night in space than they do on the ground.
		For that reason NASA sometimes deliberately shifts the astronauts' cycles before sending them into space, making sure that their biological day coincides with the crucial period of launch, according to Dr. Bette Siegel, a scientist in the Bioastronautics division at NASA headquarters.
