Golden Dome’s Management Should Give Priority to Space Defenses

Early in President Trump’s first term, Retired USAF Lt. General Jim Abrahamson and I urged a revival of America’s space-based defense initiatives.

As the two surviving directors of President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), we knew the possibility of truly cost-effective space-based defense had been positively evaluated by numerous competent technical reviews and to some extent demonstrated during our watch, now over three decades ago.

Also, I’m certain that the second SDI Director, USAF Lt. General George Monahan, would have joined us.
