Well the stupid ass has done it again. He will now piss off any group or nation about space launches. The BBC has put this up on their site:
US President George W Bush has signed an order which asserts the US right to block access to space to any country or group deemed hostile to its interests.

Looks like he wants to use space as another way of extending his power over countries. If a country, say Venezuela wants to have a weather satelite launched, he could block it or shoot it down.
He has not ruled that he would put weapons in space despite the UN treaty explicitly banning such.
He has basically overruled NASA and put our space program in the hands of the military. Welcome to the world military program, if we can't invade your country, we could bombard you from space until we can.
Let's get out the vote and make even space free again.
