📗 Libro en inglés NEITHER STAR WARS NOR SANCTUARY: CONSTRAINING THE MILITARY USES O F SPACE

In Neither Star Wars nor Sanctuary, Michael E. O''Hanlon makes a case for keeping it this way. The United States, with military space budgets of around $20 billion a year, enjoys a remarkably favorable military advantage in space. Pursuing a policy of space weaponization solely in order to maximize its own military capabilities would needlessly jeopardize this situation by likely hastening development of space weapons in numerous countries. It would also reaffirm the prevalent international image of the United States as a global cowboy of sorts, too quick to reach for the gun.
