USA Today : US President George W. Bush has authorized a sweeping new national space policy, green-lighting an overarching national policy that governs the conduct of America’s space activities.The new policy supports not only a moon, Mars and beyond exploration agenda, but also responds to a post 9/11 world of terrorist actions, such as the need for intelligence-gathering internal and external to the United States. It also states that the US will not recognise any attempts by commericial organizations or other governments to lay claim to outer space resources, such as water deposits on the Moon.
