Implementing the National Security Space Strategy (Strategic Studies Quarterly, Spring 2012)

Abstract

Leadership has been a defining hallmark of the US space effort since the beginning of the Space Age. From John F. Kennedy s bold challenge to put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s, to our military s unprecedented use of space-based capabilities, to the evolution of the global positioning system (GPS) as a free global utility, the United States has aspired to and attained a leadership position in space, deriving significant benefits across the spectrum of scientific, military, commercial, and civil activities.
