Fifteen concerned citizens attended the Keep Space for Peace Week Protest on Saturday, October 11 at the main gate. Steve Stormoen, of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, and Sanderson Beck, founder of Peace Communications, each spoke to other participants of the cost and dangers of placing weapons in space.  No arrests were made, although MacGregor Eddy did leave after being approached by base security for a ban and bar violation if she remained.
