energies by minuscule triggering signals, then by an extension of this principle we
should be able to affect the field environment of the very stars in the sky...With
godlike arrogance, we someday may yet direct the stars in their courses."89
The question is will that knowledge be used by war-oriented or biosphere-
oriented scientists?
A 1977 editorial in Saturday Review warned about weather warfare and
called it a moral issue, saying "If the world is in for a long spell of crippling
weather, then we are fools and monsters if we don't get together for the purpose of
mounting a response as though our life depended on it - as indeed it does."90

A series of weather disasters began in 1960, according to a CIA report
mentioned in the editorial, but at the time climatologists couldn't look ahead and see
that droughts, floods and abnormal temperatures would continue beyond that
decade. As if natural disasters weren't bad enough, the CIA reported that
national governments were already able to manipulate weather for military
purposes. The editorialist had an impertinent thought: "It is difficult to read the CIA
report without wondering whether some of the climatic aberrations in recent years
may not have been part of military experimental programs."
Saturday Review's 1977 editorial used strong words to describe the
desensitization of the public and decision makers - a deadening of moral indignation
that came from seeing an endless procession of super-weapons. That process was
described as mass insanity. "If the collective conscience does not now respond,
then all our philosophy and religion and education,..have been abstract,
irrelevant, futile."
The collective conscience was silent, however, and by 1995 the military
has had another 18 years to work on weather warfare methods, which it
euphemistically calls weather modification. For example, rainmaking technology
was taken for a few test rides in Vietnam. The DoD sampled lightning and hurricane-
manipulation studies in Project Skyfire and Project Stormfury. And they looked at
some complicated technologies that would give big effects. Lowell Ponte, author of
The Cooling, says the military studied both lasers and chemicals which they figured
could damage the ozone layer over an enemy. Looking at ways to cause earthquakes,
as well as to detect them, was part of the project code named Prime Argus, decades
ago. The money for that came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA, now under the acronym ARPA.)

In 1993 Air Force Chief of staff General Merrill McPeak told a meeting of
the U.S. Space Foundation that those opposing a larger military role in space must
reconsider their viewpoint. He emphasized that the country must develop new
systems so that it can control the space environment in the future. He and other Air
Force officials wouldn't say what they had in mind, but said that new systems are more
of a political question than a technological challenge.91
