This is a wide ranging debate on the role of the military in space. This issue has begun to attract substantial attention not only in the defense community, but from Congress, the executive branch, and the public as well. In simple terms, the debate centers on the question of the degree of involvement of space systems in our future military operations.

The systems have been passive and without capability of initiating hostile actions. (Author)
