Re: National Space Intelligence Center proposed

At some point the commercial sector will supersede the civilian,
military, and intelligence sectors in space development. When that
happens, we have to make sure that the commercial developments don't
come back to bite us in the ass as a nation, or a world. After all, a
colony in the asteroid belt could quite easily reduce the surface of
the Earth to molten slag while remaining beyond the reach of Earth's
military might.

So, the seeds of control must be sown early, and appropriately to the
level of threat created by commercial space operations.
