Now, with an increasing number of countries capable of harming U.S. space assets, experts and officials have renewed a long-standing debate over the best route to space security. Some argue that space defenses will be needed to protect critical military and civilian satellites. Others argue that space should be a ""sanctuary"" from deployed weapons and military conflict, particularly given the worsening threat posed by orbital space debris.
