Dr. Leuprecht, you sent us “Combined Space Operations Vision 2031”. It states, “Some nations have developed capabilities designed to deny, degrade, and disrupt access to and utilization of space-based capabilities.” Then it talks about the goal of “collaboration across a range of measures, such as: developing requirements for current and future systems to counter hostile space activities and to deter, deny, or defeat attacks or interference with the space enterprise”.
If we're looking back at history, horrific ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons exist today because they're a product of a cycle of anti-missile defence systems. They spur innovation, and that creates bigger weapons in the arms race. This is the final frontier, if we want to get geeky about it, so how do we not make the same mistakes in space as we have here on earth? How do we deter? How do we find diplomacy in the current world we live in?
