AT: Weaponization Causes Space Arms Race



[____]


[____] Other countries would not have the funds to match U.S. dominance in space.
Everett C. Dolman, Associate Professor of Comparative Military Studies, US Air Force School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, 9/14/2005, “US Military Transformation and Weapons in Space,”
And America would respond … finally. But would another state? If America were to weaponize space today, it is unlikely that any other state or group of states would find it rational to counter in kind. The entry cost to provide the infrastructure necessary is too high; hundreds of billions of dollars, at minimum. The years of investment it would take to achieve a minimal counter-force capability—essentially from scratch—would provide more than ample time for the US to entrench itself in space, and readily counter preliminary efforts to displace it. The tremendous effort in time and resources would be worse than wasted. Most states, if not all, would opt not to counter US deployments in kind. They might oppose US interests with asymmetric balancing, depending on how aggressively America uses its new power, but the likelihood of a hemorrhaging arms race in space should the US deploy weapons there—at least for the next few years—is extremely remote.

AT: Weaponization is Infeasible



[____]


[____] Space weapons are feasible, given increased funding.
Everett C. Dolman, Associate Professor of Comparative Military Studies, US Air Force School of Advanced Air and Space Studies, 9/14/2005, “US Military Transformation and Weapons in Space,”
We have learned much, it would seem, or else bluntly negative scientific opinion on space weapons has been weeded out over time. Less encompassing arguments are now the rule. As the debate moved completely away from the impossibility of weapons and wars in space to more subtle and scientifically sustainable arguments that a particular space weapon is not feasible, mountains of mathematical formulae are piled high in an effort, one by one, simply to bury the concept. But these limitations on specific systems are less due to theoretical analysis than to assumptions about future funding and available technology. The real objection, too often hidden from view, is that a particular weapons system or capability cannot be developed and deployed within the planned budget, or within narrowly specified means. When one relaxes those assumptions, opposition on technical grounds falls away.
