Evidence: Alphabetical
- U.S. can only preserve its spacepower dominance through the marketplace
- U.S. efforts to enhance space surveillance network underfunded and behind schedule
- U.S. efforts to upgrade space surveillance network have hit funding roadblocks
- U.S. has empirically benefited most from norm of military space restraint
- U.S. actively pushing for space transparency in international community
- U.S. reluctance to share surveillance data encourages other countries to withhold data
- U.S. intelligence satellites would be able to detect Chinese preparations for space strike
- U.S. space war with China could mean targeting anywhere from 35-100 satellites
- U.S. could Easily Convert Minuteman ICBMs to Anti-Satellite Role
- Using non-kinetic means to disable or jam a satellite can avoid crisis escalation
- U.S. gains training, experience from effort to shoot down spy satellite
- U.S. satellite shot was not a test of missile defense capabilities
- U.S. destruction of spy satellite has opened the door to further tests by other nations
- U.S. destruction of spy satellite not a significant test of anti-satellite capabilities
- U.S. Satellite Shot helps Stabilize Outer Space by Demonstrating U.S. ASAT Capabilities
- UN space debris regulations allow for intentional destruction of satellites like US 193
- U.S. has no Effective Response to Breakout in Space Arms Control Regime
- U.S. can Defend Space Assets Against Chinese ASATs without Igniting Space Arms Race
- U.S. refusal to engage in discussions on weaponization of outer space in international forums has two significant costs
- U.S. Actions and Policy Documents show Aggressive Plans for Weaponization of Outer Space
- U.S. policy statements have effect on foreign governments even if they do not reflect consensus of U.S. government
- Unlikely Soviet-era ASAT systems are still operational
- US commercial space sector has deferred to judgement of military planners
- US Military Space Acquisition Failures have Deep Roots
- US is past point of diminishing returns for improving current dominance in outer space
- US suffers high opportunity costs from its pursuit of space dominance
- US should improve its compliance with the UN Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space
- U.S. Does not have Capacity to Takeout all Chinese Mobile Launchers
- Unlike the U.S., Chinese Military and Civillian Space Programs are Tightly Integrated
- Unintentional interference a big concern for satellite operators
- U.S. National Space Policy should Focus on Best Means to Defend American Satellites rather than Current Flawed Focus on Preserving Operational Freedom
- U.S. could safeguard space arms control treaty against technological obsolesence by including periodic review periods, modelled after Non-Proliferation Treaty
- U.S. could hedge against breakout by including withdrawal provision into any space arms control treaty
- U.S. decision in 1983 to conceal satellite orbits provoked growth of amateur satellite spotter hobbyists
- U.S. is Losing its Dominance in Space at Rapid Rate
- U.S. Dominance in Military and Commercial Space Sectors is Slipping
