A Day Without Space: Economic and National Security Ramifications
8:30-10 AM Space capabilities are woven deeply into the fabric of modern society. Commerce relies on them for the swift flow of information and transactions, and the national security arena depends on them for joint warfighting and protection of the homeland. They are key enablers of the precision warfare that not only reduces risk to American troops, but saves innocent lives by minimizing collateral damage. Space assets and the services they provide impact nearly every business sector, helping businesses become more efficient and productive. What would happen if these assets were compromised? Please join the Space Enterprise Council and the George Marshall Institute for an engaging discussion on this issue.
