Time for Space-Based Missile Defense!
Bloomberg recently reported that 16 of the world’s 500 richest people have investments in space with Jeff Bezos alone spending $1 billion a year. In 2016, there were at least 225 private space ventures receiving an additional $3.1 billion in private equity investments. While North Korea threatens the U.S. and our allies daily with the prospect a nuclear EMP attack, there might just be an opportunity for an extraordinary return on this investment.
Ambassador Hank Cooper – who served as President George H.W. Bush’s director of Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative – suggested that the nation employ these “commercial-off-the-shelf” technologies to resurrect Reagan’s vision of space based ballistic missile defense – which would be the most cost effective ballistic missile defense systems possible today. Let’s hope and pray that our President and Congress agree!
