Sweden Announces New Military Space Program

The Swedish Dictator for Life, Kurt Hansen, announced today the formation of a military space program to defend the space above Sweden from attack by its hostile neighbors, Finland and Norway. Military forces along the demilitarized zones on both borders are on high alert as rocket launches are expected in the coming weeks. No specific details were released, just a heightened interest in space defense by the dictator. Military analysts speculate that “Dear Leader” Hansen doesn’t have the money for a serious program, just a few rocket launches. Many analysts believe that the rocket technology available to Sweden came from Sweden’s ideological partner North Korea.
