“Space is the ultimate high ground,” but America is at risk of losing its superiority in space, the policy expert says.

Space policy expert Greg Autry is the director of space leadership, policy, and business at the Thunderbird School of Global Management and a professor at Arizona State University. He’s also the co-author of “Red Moon Rising: How America Will Beat China on the Final Frontier.”

Autry believes the Chinese communist regime may be looking at targeting Taiwan with an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon attack. What would such an attack look like, and why might an EMP be the weapon of choice for the Chinese regime?

“Whoever controls Earth’s orbit and the moon will be telling the people on earth what they're going to do. There'll be no point in fighting. The US has controlled space essentially since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and used it to an incredible advantage to project force around the world. Not having that superiority would be a huge loss on the geopolitical credibility stage.”

“In 2016, I served on the presidential transition team and helped set the agenda that President Trump put in place to return Americans to the moon, this time, permanently, as well as other space related decisions. And we understood that, that again, we were kind of throwing down the gauntlet, and we had assumed that by 2024 we would be on the moon.”

According to Greg Autry, “China has a very credible space program. It's very clearly number two, they've eclipsed the Russians, the former Soviet program. The United States is a clear leader in civil space, human space flight, Space Science, commercial space, for sure, and in military space. But that doesn't mean we should go to sleep comfortably, because it doesn't matter where you are in the race, it matters how fast the person behind you is catching up. And that should be of significant concern, because China's vector, their trajectory, is stupendous…. They're very good at copying, stealing and buying whatever it is they need from us or from the Russians on the open market, and then improving it and making a lot more of it, because they're blessed with having the workshop to the world and a supply chain that is bar none.”
