They're plenty big enough, especially as you orbit around the points, not at them. Invoking scarcity as a reason to worry about "securing" them is wrongheaded.
- SiempreViernes 2y agoYou misunderstand, the task at hand for the "national security expert" is identifying points in space that you can plausibly have a fight over, to say there are none is to fail the primary task. This is simply seen by realising that you cannot have space security policy until after the space security expert have created a battlefield in minds of the policy makers. But yeah, I think all this proto-space-war theory crafting is very stupid and harmful.
