Evidence: Alphabetical
- Deorbiting large objects is an inefficient approach to managing space debris problem
- Dolman's idea of a U.S. led Astropolitik regime unlikely to go unchallenged by other states
- Dolman's vision of astropolitik as extending liberal world order would threaten the very values it portends to preserve
- Definition of space situational awareness
- Dolman has to ignore several fundamentals of space warfare to argue that space war with China is inevitable
- Disabling GPS satellites would be difficult and time-consuming to accomplish and U.S. would have ample time to respond
- Disabling U.S. precision guided munitions by attacking GPS satellites would only shift attack to laser guided bombs or conventional delivery means
- Definition of what space assets constitute National Technical Means has stretched over past few decades with commercial and civilian satellites being tasked for NTM
- Debris removal is not possible with current technology except for very large pieces from satellite breakups
- Difficulties in determining definitions for dual-use space assets are not insurmountable
- Deploying a microsatellite guardian fleet would deter attack against U.S. space assets
- Directed energy weapons could be used to overwhelm a satellite's sensors
- Directed energy weapons can be used to disable satellites without escalating conflicts but that is very difficult to pull off
- De-centralized, net-centric approach is upending Cold War assumptions about space power
