A space-based missile defense system would put future Putins in their place

Isn’t it too bad that a way doesn’t exist to stop a nuclear exchange with “the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete?” The question was first posed 40 years ago by President Ronald Reagan, when he proposed the Strategic Defense Initiative, as a way to break the balance of terror and lift the prospect of a global thermonuclear holocaust. Reagan and his advisers envisioned a multi-layered defense system, much of it space based, that would stop a nuclear attack by shooting down missiles before they reached their targets.

How SpaceX's Starlink is changing how the world communicates

Starlink, the satellite communications system being deployed by SpaceX, has been very much in the news recently, from disaster relief in Tonga to keeping war-torn Ukraine connected to the world. Starlink is the most recent expression of a vision by Arthur C. Clarke, the writer and space visionary, who first proposed communications satellites in an article in Wireless World in 1945, just two months after the end of World War II.
