Overview
This overview aims to inform the public discussion of space-based weapons by examining their characteristics, potential attributes, limitations, legality, and utility. The authors do not argue for or against space weapons, nor do they estimate the potential costs and performance of specific programs, but instead sort through the realities and myths surrounding space weapons in order to ensure that debates and discussions are based on fact.

From The Critics
In advance planning for an expected national debate on space weapons, the US Air Force commissioned the RAND corporation for a report on common vocabulary and common expectations of the possibility, utility, legalities, and limitations of using space weapons in terrestrial conflicts. The report is not indexed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
