JUST IN: Space Progress Slowed by ‘Bureaucratic Inertia,’ Official Says
10/26/2022
By Josh Luckenbaugh   

 
As the United States’ youngest service enters its fourth year, the Space Force must look for ways to speed up technological development in order to not fall behind competitors, a top service official said.

China has rapidly expanded its space capabilities in recent years, becoming the first country to land a spacecraft on the far side of the Moon in 2019 and in 2020 completing its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, a significant rival to the United States’ Global Positioning System.

“[The Chinese] have built a military space reconnaissance strike enterprise that starts … with the ability to collect intelligence,” Vice Chief of Space Operations Gen. David “DT” Thompson said during a keynote address at the Mitchell Institute Spacepower Security Forum.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
