Preserving U.S. dominance while slowing the weaponization of space -- Notes -- Index.Space has been militarized for over four decades. Should it now be weaponized? This incisive and insightful book argues that it should not. Since the cold war, space has come to harbor many tools of the tactical warfighter. Satellites have long been used to provide strategic communication, early warning of missile launch, and arms control verification. The U.S. armed forces increasingly use space assets to locate and strike targets on the battlefield.Space warfareAstronautics, MilitaryUnited StatesBallistic missile defensesUnited StatesWorld politics21st centuryUnited StatesMilitary policySpace warfare.Astronautics, MilitaryBallistic missile defensesWorld politics358/.8O'Hanlon Michael E552048MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784493603321Neither Star Wars nor sanctuary3729928UNINA
