Stuff like this is enjoyable to look back on and compare to the current day, but I also think it's important to treat it as speculative fiction and not assume cause-and-effect between one and the other :) That said, my favorite parts: > Most strikingly, the team found that the Air Force three decades out will be oriented far more toward space than toward air. This shift in emphasis will be so profound, said participants, that they grappled with whether the Air Force should spin off an all-new “Space Force” or, at a minimum, rename itself “US Aerospace Force.” > Information–as a commodity as well as a combat medium–will be “more influential than bombs” in thirty years, and expertise in manipulating information will offer the United States its most telling advantage over future adversaries. > Industry, not government, will be responsible for developing critical new technologies, and government more often than not will borrow, license, or lease systems rather than buy or develop them on its own.
