The Better Mind of Space
Abstract
Culture, at a fundamental level, is comprised of shared values and assumptions about reality. It has to do with what is in the mind. Perhaps it is easier to analyze existing culture than it is to figure out how to change it. Yet that is the problem I would like to address in this paper. Specifically, how do you improve military space culture? Admittedly, the question is ambiguous, but it is one I have been asked many times. Implicit in the question is the assumption that military space culture needs improvement. I do not challenge that assumption here, rather I accept it as something deserving of our time and effort. Of course, there are a myriad of ways to address any topic, but the idea of culture seems to be among the more elusive and subjective topics of research pertaining to space and space power. What follows is one more meager attempt to transform the elusive and subjective into something within reach.
