This means that the United States cannot be second in weaponizing space, because being second means not being able to weaponize it without the consent of the first to weaponize space, and whoever has that power will most likely not be that friendly. Considering how dependent the United States military is on space based technology to conduct combat operations at sea, in the air, and on the ground, the loss of space is the loss of most of our military power. --- # References 1.
