Evidence: Alphabetical
- Spread of remote sensing technology is a real danger to U.S. national security
- Space weapons will not pose offensive threat to other countries' sovereignty
- Should Expand Missile Defense Efforts to Deal with Threat from Asteroids
- Space weapons may provoke pre-emptive attacks
- Space weaponization would uniquely damage nonproliferation norm
- Space assets are growing in importance for national economies
- Space weapons technology within reach for several different countries
- Space arms control proponents ignore the very real incentives states already have to pursue space weapons
- Space systems can be protected against HAND attacks
- Soviet experience shows difficulty in sustaining space supremacy campaign
- Studies have disproven the "Rods from God" concept
- Space-based missile defense will dissuade adversaries from developing ballistic missiles
- Should carefully analyze potential gains to avoid pursuing technology for its own sake
- Space systems are very difficult to maintain or repair
- Space assets are a center of gravity only because they are centralized -- decentralizing resources would reduce need for space weapons
- Space systems are composed of satellites, data, and the ground receivers
- Space debris is an inevitable consequence of space activity
- Should not let concerns over generating space debris outweigh military needs
- Space debris from Chinese anti-satellite weapons test puts space station at constant risk
- Should be not Overly Alarmed by China's Anti-Satellite Weapons Test
- Space Debris Risks may make the Use of Space Weapons Taboo as it would cause the "Mutually Assured Destruction" of all Space Assets
- Space Weapons will not Fundamentally Alter the Nature of War
- Space Arms Control would not have Prevented Ground-based Chinese Anti-Satellite Weapons Test
- Should be careful not to conflate space-based missile defense with other space weapon proposals
- Space-based missile defense best way to defend against HAND attack
- Small Constellation of Space-Based Interceptors would be Sufficient to Defend against Ballistic Missiles Worldwide
- Should not put too much faith in Moscow's "moratorium" on testing space weapons
- Space Situational Awareness Mission same as Asteroid Defense Mission
- Should not underestimate enemy intentions by projecting our own
- Space-based missile defense interceptors have wider range to engage ballistic missiles
- Space-based missile defense would improve flexibility and responsiveness of missile defense
- Space Weaponization Runs Counter to Goals of Sustainable Development of Outer Space
- Space debris accumulation risks making space unusable for all purposes
- Sheer number of U.S. programs for potential space weapons shows space weaponization is inevitable
- Space Arms Control is not Worth Pursuing because it is Unenforceable and Unverifiable
- Space debris concerns should not trump U.S. national security interests
