    WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress has been asked again to push the Reagan
    administration to try to negotiate a U.S.-Soviet ban on all weapons in
    space.
Any projectile traveling at 17,000 MPH striking any object in a
significantly different orbit will pretty near destroy it. Thus unless
all satellites are in the same orbit in the same direction, each is a
potential weapon against the others. Is this going to be another "Moon
Treaty", effectively preventing any use of space whatsoever because of
careless wording?

I can see the headlines, LANDSAT ordered pulled down because of danger
to other satellites due to polar orbit of LANDSAT.
