- More about Original Sin: Power, Technology and War in Outer Space
The book "Space Power" explores how space technology has been developed to enhance the killing power of the state, with thousands of satellites providing essential military, intelligence, and economic capabilities. World powers are realizing the strategic benefits of commanding Earth's 'cosmic coastline' as a stage for war, development, and prestige, but there is scope for cautious optimism about the future of the Space Age if we can recognize its original sin.

Space technology has been developed to enhance the killing power of the state, with the Moon landings and the launch of the Space Shuttle being mere sideshows. Thousands of satellites work silently in the background to provide essential military, intelligence, and economic capabilities, and no major power can do without them. Truly global technologies have evolved, from the ground floor of the nuclear missile revolution to today's orbital battlefield, shaping the wars to come. World powers, including India, Japan, and Europe, are fully realizing the strategic benefits of commanding Earth's 'cosmic coastline' as a stage for war, development, and prestige.
However, as new contenders spend more and more on outer space, there is scope for cautious optimism about the future of the Space Age. If we can recognize, rather than hide, its original sin, we can ensure that the Space Age continues to be a source of progress and innovation for generations to come.
