In his otherwise excellent summary of our nation’s potential military approaches to space (“Space Force! Space Force!,” op-ed, June 25), Taylor Dinerman, although noting that international law provides for peaceful uses of that realm, fails to mention that international law (via Article IV of the 1967 outer space treaty) additionally forbids the use of the moon and other celestial bodies for any military uses whatsoever.
