According to the general, these lofty goals are possible. But current military leaders aren't doing these things. He calls it "lack of forward thinking," like in World War II when Pershing and Marshall failed to focus on the strategic potential of tanks and airplanes.
He thinks being the first nation in space is a must: "Space will be a multi-trillion dollar market that will disproportionately benefit the first nation to build a vibrant space infrastructure and define the principles and rules of the marketplace of space.
"If America is first, its principles—the rule of law and the protection of liberty—will be in a position to prevail. If Communist China is first, the marketplace will look much different."
"If we do not master space, our nation will become indefensible."
