Book excerpt: This paper is a starting point for those not schooled in space, space terminology, and space issues. It provides a brief history of space technology, explains orbit fundamentals, and gives an overview of commands, agencies, and national organizations. It then takes up U.S. policy toward space and the commercialization of space systems. Finally, it highlights some of the more relevant military questions: Does the United States need a separate service for space? Has the space arms race already begun, and what space weapons should be employed? Is the country vulnerable to space attacks and ready to fight in space? The author concludes that space control is probably the single greatest military space issue facing the country in the next several decades.
