The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of prompt space-based global strikes. In order to contribute to the debate about its potential benefits and problems, this study addresses the effects of cultural mindsets and forces. It examines how prompt precision strikes through space could provide an important set of options in future crises that are beyond the capabilities of current U.S. military forces. Finally, this study raises questions that the U.S. Air Force must consider about the future of aerospace missions.
