My TCSDaily piece on the Chinese ASAT test is up now.

Over at The Space Review, Christopher Stone agrees that the notion of space as a sanctuary from military activity in the twenty-first century is a fantasy.

There’s a lot of other good stuff over there, including some ideas on non-debris-causing ASATs from Taylor Dinerman, a brief history of space-based radar from Dwayne Day, and Paul Spudis’ take on why we go to the moon. Not to mention why so many young people believe in the Apollo Hoax.

I’ll probably have some further thoughts on better ASAT techniques later this week, if I get time.
