This paper is designed to take a look into the far future of our national security needs. I wanted to avoid the near-term debate associated with the development of an independent Space Force /Space Corps / Department of Space within the Department of Defense and instead focus on a longer-term challenge. If American entrepreneurs continue experiencing spectacular success in reducing the cost of space launch, they will soon open the new frontier to a rush of commercial and industrial ventures. Over the next century, significant portions of the American economy may move to outer space, so the United States government must have infrastructure, operations, plans, and personnel in place to defend those commercial and industrial interests.
