PDB Afternoon Bulletin | November 15th, 2024: Israel Destroys Iran's Secret Nuclear Site & Tehran Promises Not To Assassinate Trump

In this book, Brandon Weichert examines the increasing competition the United States faces in the space sector, particularly from China and Russia. He argues that the U.S. is at risk of losing the second space race and highlights the national security implications of this scenario. Weichert details the actions, potentials, and rationales of various international space powers and emphasizes the importance of reinforcing relationships with potential space allies like France, Japan, Israel, India, and Brazil. The book warns of the severe consequences of not investing in space technology, including the risk of a Pearl Harbor-type event in space and the loss of U.S. superpower status due to socio-economic and cultural divisions within the country.
