  • EP 10 'Space Security' (its out of this world) and a US Election Special: Trump V Harris How Will America Vote?
    Nov 4 2024

    We’d love to hear from you!!

    What is Space Security

    1. Geopolitical Rivalries and Militarization of Space

    2. Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Monitoring

    3. Threat of Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapons

    4. Cybersecurity and Electronic Warfare in Space

    5. Space Traffic Management (STM) and Orbital Debris

    6. International Law and Governance

    Measures to Enhance Space Security

    In summary, while geopolitical tensions drive space security policies, collaboration on peaceful space practices, legal agreements, and norms for conflict avoidance could reduce risks and enhance global safety.


    Who is better for US national security? Trump or Kamala and why?
    Evaluating who might be better for U.S. national security between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris (if she were president) involves looking at their approaches, priorities, and historical actions on key issues. While both have had significant political careers, their perspectives on national security reflect different philosophies and strategies. Here’s a look at their approaches to national security and the implications of each:

    1. Diplomacy and Alliances

    2. China and Russia

    3. Cybersecurity and Domestic Threats

    4. Military Readiness and Defense Spending

    5. Immigration and Border Security

    6. Climate Change as a Security Threat

    Summary: Harris prioritizes climate change within the national security framework, viewing it as a key factor in future geopolitical stability. Trump’s stance is less focused on climate, instead prioritizing energy independence.

    Overall Summary

    • Trump’s National Security Approach: More narrowly focused on military buildup, border security, and assertive economic stances, especially regarding China. His approach appeals to those favoring a strong defense-first posture but has been criticized for alienating allies.
    • Harris’ National Security Approach: Emphasizes a balanced strategy that includes diplomacy, multilateralism, cyber defenses, and climate preparedness, reflecting a broad view of security challenges. Her approach aligns with a more collaborative global security stance but may be seen as less aggressive.

    Conclusion

    Both approaches have strengths depending on the primary security goals: Trump’s focus appeals to those who prioritize immediate military and economic strength, while Harris’ approach may better address long-term, multidimensional security challenges in a globally interconnected landscape.

    The 2024 U.S. election could indeed have gender dynamics playing a notable role, particularly given that if Kamala Harris were to step up as the Democratic candidate, she would be the first female presidential candidate from a major party to have served as vice president. Gender often factors into electoral narratives, shaping both candidates' platforms and public expectations. However, while gender is likely to be a relevant aspect, it's unlikely to be the defining issue; other topics, such as the economy, national security, healthcare, and international relations, are likely to dominate voter priorities.

    Here are several ways gender could influence the 2024 election:

    1. Kamala Harris’ Potential Historic Candidacy

    2. Policy Issues with Gendered Implications

    3. Gendered Voter Demographics

    4. Social Perception and Media Framing

    5. Voter Motivations Beyond Gender
