    I might sound like an idiot but what is the thing in the center of the photo used in this article? At first I thought it was someone in a black robe and black veil making their case to the council which upon closer inspection can’t be true, then looking closer it looks like a filled trash bag in the middle of the council which makes even less sense.

    What am I looking at here?

    Seeing as China and Russia have UN Security Council vetos I don’t see how this would pass.

    Isn’t this redundant? The UN Outer Space Treaty already prohibits all WMDs in space, and all major countries have signed on.

    States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner;
