Message to India? Pakistan says boasting space advances is like ‘Don Quixote tilting windmills’

Hours after India declared a successful test of its anti-satellite weapon, Pakistan called on countries to reverse the militarization of space. Boasting advances in space warfare is like Don Quixote fighting windmills, it said.

“Space is the common heritage of mankind and every nation has the responsibility to avoid actions which can lead to the militarization of this arena,” Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement delivered on Wednesday.
