N-Space Part 73

What do you mean, n.o.body asked?

n.o.body asked us to form a committee to design a national s.p.a.ce policy either. What a selling author learns, what Jerry Pournelle seems to have known from birth, is this: You don't have to wait to be asked. You don't have to wait to be asked.

DEFENSES.

Anything worth doing in s.p.a.ce can be turned into a weapon.

I add in haste that that statement also holds true in your own neighborhood. n.o.body will ever count how many victims of the elderly and wealthy persuasion have fallen to the lowly pillow. Anything with heft works in a bar fight: a gla.s.s ashtray, a bottle and a hard surface to break it, even the bottle alone. An automobile makes a fine weapon; so does gasoline. All of these things are universally available.

But in s.p.a.ce the situation is entirely different. The energies necessary even to reach orbit, let alone to accomplish anything once we're there, are matched only in the field of weapons, and generally not by them.

The most efficient reaction motors are those with the highest exhaust velocity. A Saturn booster hovering over a building would reduce it to flaming slag; a fusion rocket would certainly do the job faster; a light-pressure drive would melt and boil it.

A ma.s.s in low orbit carries tremendous kinetic energy. What gives a s.p.a.cecraft destructive power also gives it vulnerability: any undefended orbiting s.p.a.cecraft can be killed by a bucket of sand in retrograde orbit. In higher orbits the velocities may be less, but the potential energies are even greater-which is why lifting the ma.s.s is so expensive-and the higher the orbit, the less retrothrust it takes to drop the ma.s.s back to Earth.

The distance between L5 and the Moon is the radius of the Moon's...o...b..t. Between L4 and L5 the distance is nearly twice that. A signal laser powerful enough to cross such gaps would be lethal at close range.

Rocks thrown from the Moon by any kind of ma.s.s driver would impact the Earth as guided meteors, at seven miles per second.

Any nation that can return a piece of asteroid to Earth orbit, to mine its millions of tons of recoverable metals, could also drop it on an enemy with similar incoming velocities.

The United States should encourage any any s.p.a.ce enterprise involving its citizens. The more thoroughly we can establish ourselves in s.p.a.ce, the safer we are. We must establish a presence in s.p.a.ce, before someone can tell us not to. s.p.a.ce enterprise involving its citizens. The more thoroughly we can establish ourselves in s.p.a.ce, the safer we are. We must establish a presence in s.p.a.ce, before someone can tell us not to.

If the Soviet Union is Number One in s.p.a.ce, will there be a Number Two?
