I'd like you to tell me whether, in your opinion, deterrence is necessary.
I'd also like your opinion, Mr. Fergusson. In your opening remarks, you talked about deterrence. I'd like to ask you the same question: Are deterrents necessary in space and what does that look like?
The question is for both witnesses.
