Evidence: Alphabetical
- Space war inevitable due to economic pressures
- Space-based weapons are destabilizing because they lack survivability
- Space mines would be difficult to defend against
- Space weapons cause instability during crises because they threaten early warning satellites
- States will base decision on whether or not to deploy space weapons on their own rational calculus
- Space debris caused several fragementation and collision events in 2005
- Space weapons would destabilize the international system because they give an incentive to strike first
- Satellites have yet to achieve the economic importance that the Spanish treasure galleons had for the British Royal Navy
- Space weapons are no less provacative than nuclear deterrence
- Space warfare between India and Pakistan would quickly escalate into nuclear conflict
- Six nations are capable of producing a crude HAND ASAT
- Space Weapons Would Create 'Hair Trigger' Posture in Outer Space
- Space weaponization would threaten outer space environment by increasing space debris
- Space weaponization would compound space debris dangers exponentially
- Space weapons are destabilizing because they target satellites used extensively by non-combatants
- Space-based weapons needed to protect the space assets the U.S. relies on
- Self-interest will motivate other countries to match U.S. deployment of space weapons
- Space-based kinetic weapons waste too much energy, conventional strike options are more efficient
- Strategic space-based laser for force projection still a viable concept
- Some satellite defense options compete against each other
- Space-based laser weapons insufficient to counter threat of laser anti-satellite weapons
- Shielding is a Better Solution to Threat of Laser Blinding than Space Weapons
- Space is Militarized but not Weaponized -- Existing Space Assets are only Force Enhancers
- Space weapons will come at the expense of military modernization
- Space systems lack element of survivability and are unlikely to be relied on in crisis
- Space arms control efforts will quickly become out of date
- Space weapons inherently vulnerable because of limited manueverability
- Space weapons inherently stuck in risky high-alert posture
- Space Warfare Unlikely to be Confined to Space
- Space assets can shape events through presence
- Spoofing of Satellite Signals is easy to Overcome
- Space weapons will inevitably be deployed for defense
- Space debris becoming a significant problem for military and civilian space sectors
- Should not stigmatize anti-satellite weapons as escalatory
- Space capabilities are an integral part of modern war-fighting
- Space weapons would quickly and dramatically increase space debris risks
