- Space is Key Component of U.S. Military and Economic Strength
- START, INF, and CFE Treaties do not ban the use of anti-satellite weapons
- Space power necessary to deal with extraterrestrial space threats
- Strategic logic of space power is inevitable, even if only to combat extraterrestrial space threats
- Space weapons would hinder civil and commercial space development by increasing space debris
- Space weapon program costs tradeoff with much more justifiable military modernization programs
- Space weaponization key to global military dominance
- Space was not weaponized during the Cold War because both superpowers recognized that it was in their mutual Interest to refrain from weaponizing space
- Satellites could be defended with built-in self-defense capability
- Space weapons are destabilizing because they are based on the doctrine of pre-emption
- Space based weapons pose a direct threat to strategic stability because they encourage preemptive strikes
