So long as we get Free Beer and the William Casey Society.

For folks who haven't checked out Allen Steele's Rude Astronauts, or any of his other "Near Space" books, you're missing out on some great science fiction, and fun stories full of rambunctious astronauts, pilots and blue collar science fiction.

We NEED the Prime Directive so that we can violate it every episode.

Look, create an international space code of conduct all you like, but you know it's ultimately meaningless unless SPECTRE abides by it.

I don't think Hugo Drax was with SPECTRE. Also, I kind of like the code of conduct of Captain Mal Reynolds.

"If someone tries to kill you. You kill them right back."

Rule #1 of the Space Code of Conduct should be "No farting in the spaceships".

Ok. Good point. How about the North Koreans then too? I mean, you shouldn't let them put a giant magnifying glass in space unless you are going to let everyone do it...and let them control with with the Nintendo Glove controller.

Well, if you're going that broad, then how about the Goldeneye Satellite?

You have to give some leniency to weapons put up there by countries during the Cold War, but sure, now I'd say that should be off limits. I mean, imagine the catastrophe of an EMP going off over a city nowadays. Cell phones out for days. No internet. Garage doors that won't open. Mass pandemonium.

But back to main point of conduct in space....I believe that all space vehicles from Tyderium Shuttles to TIE Fighters to the Millenium Falcon be required to obey the laws of physics.

Don't clean the zero-g toilet until after the water is reclaimed.
You don't want anyone going thirsty.

Would it be in any way similar to the Code of the Ocean which includes "No Splashing"?

All women must wear form fiting single piece uniforms and be hot.
This will be know as the Jeri Ryan law.

Alternatively, they must be scantily clad and be painted green.

Aliens may only come in two versions....omnipotent energy beings...or humans with deformed heads in quantities that suggest it is a genetic mutation.
