General Douglas MacArthur:

"Because of the developments of science, all the countries on earth will have to
unite to survive and to make a common front against attack by people from other
planets. The politics of the future will be cosmic, or interplanetary. " (The
New York Times, October 8, 1955.)	

"You now face a new world - a world of change. The thrust into outer space of
the satellite, spheres and missiles marked the beginning of another epoch in the
long story of mankind - the chapter of the space age... We speak in strange
terms: of harnessing the cosmic energy... of the primary target in war, no
longer limited to the armedf orces of an enemy, but instead to include his civil
populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister
forces of some other planetary galaxy... " (Address by General Douglas MacArthur
to the United States Military Academy at West Point, May 12, 1962.)
