Space Terrorism
Space terrorism? Yes, space terrorism. This article, by someone at the European Space Policy Institute, hypes a terrorist threat I’ve never seen hyped before. The author waves a bunch of scare stories around, and then concludes that “the threat of ‘Space Terrorism’ is both real and latent,” then talks about countermeasures. Certainly securing our satellites is a good idea, but this is just silly.

This is a stunning example of retreading old thinking for new budgets. The author clearly has no concept of the distinction between “terrorism” and “warfare”.
