Looking forward to attending @ascendspace  #ascendspace, I'll be on a Panel about Lunar Infrastructure: "Will They Come If We Build It? A Lunar Innovation Park as Early Lunar Infrastructure for Pioneering Users"

Check out my latest Space Strategy podcast with Charles Miller @NexGenSpace podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/60-… @afpc @NASA @nss @SpaceFrontier

Bravo! "DARPA is studying whether it could play a role in capturing and stabilizing an asteroid, potentially enabling private companies to extract resources. Such a project..could help “jump start” a future market for in-space resource extraction" spacenews.com/darpa-chief-sa…

Dr. Peter Garretson discusses the AFPC special report “Space Nuclear Weapons Analysis,” which examines one of the most serious emerging threats in space security: the placement, threatened use, or detonation of a nuclear weapon in orbit. FULL INTERVIEW: youtube.com/watch?v=Vg4DiU… @GarretsonPeter @afpc #space #defense

@PeteBlacker @Phanatic1a @ToughSf Read the report! It’s explained

@Phanatic1a @ToughSf @GarretsonPeter Why would a nuke in space effect power grids?

The US has no defence against a nuclear detonation in space, has the most to lose from it, and a 1 MT warhead in LEO can instantly destroy 2200+ satellites then disable 10,000+ within weeks - no radiation/debris cleanup exists. @GarretsonPeter reports: afpc.org/uploads/docume…

I am squarely in the demographic group of the missing people and have looked at this statistically myself. I do think this is concerning. My own analysis is consistent with Sabine's. The Russians are well known to have a covert murder group that often works in overtly public ways, as does Mossad. Scary. What about the Chinese? The USG should take this seriously IMO.
