What a glorious world it would be when a commander enjoins a cataclysmic order, whose mien stands irresistible, leaves no remnants and as a result without causing harm to the environment. The command is imperative while the slag swims beyond somewhere unknown. On the facade, a Spacewar sounds cleaner, but the game is a never-ending chess mantle. Space warfare with attacking satellites and sputniks are very much dangerous to Earth itself.
Recent developments, including the Indian Chandrayaan 2, are a showcase of national capabilities. China plans to land people on the moon by 2035. Similarly, Donald Trump’s administration wants Americans to trespass the shallow orbit of Earth by 2024. Declining costs have made space exploration much more accessible; so much so that Jeff Bezos auctions $1bn-worth his shares every year to cap the charges for Blue origin, a new Amazon space initiative. Similarly, Virgin Galactic is going public at a valuation of $1.5bn. It claims to carry almost 1000 wealthy adventurers to space excursions by 2022. This boom in the commercialisation of the space industry could ferret out a trillion every year and add to its domestic product.
Commercialisation talks about efficiency and efficiency confer impetus to a cluster of the indigenous military forces. The military is concerned with both private militias as well as government-operated military forces. Private militias through commercialisation may seem to be the ultimate beneficiary rather than individual. Numerous books talk about space pirates and militias, but that is possible only when effective space rules are in place. Economies like America, Russia, China and India are limitlessly improving their military strength with decimating capabilities. Mr Trump plans to set up a Space Force, a special of the armed forces, the first time since inception. On 14 July, French President, Emmanuel Macron, declared setting up a new space command. In this frenzy, nations are not concerned with rationality: what we see might turn out a step towards establishing cosmic boundaries, that can cause stress on Earth. Space warfare cascades geopolitical stress among member nations affecting their diplomatic relations.
Until March 2019, globally 2062 operating satellites space odysseys have been engineered. They enable modern war not only answering strategic questions but also allow positioning and other information services. They are a tool to gear wars on Earth. Perhaps the simplest way to defeat a military is through crashing latter’s satellite. Shelling a spacecraft produces shrapnel that drifts away from the Earth’s orbit which in the long run is a big problem. Large chunks of debris collide with celestial objects displacing them from their orbital path. Thus, it creates an unprecedented environmental catastrophe, also called cosmic pollution. Without an effective rule of law, we will make Universe another Earth – scarcity driving rational beings to irresponsible humans.
Space warfare is destructive not only in the physical form. Spy satellites can be blinded with lasers or may be prone to hacking. There are numerous problems associated with these satellites. Perhaps, the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 bans deadly weapons in the outer space but continues to be passive on conventional arms. Nevertheless, America outstands other economies in military expenditure. Some argue for the creation of a new space force inside Pentagon. Space exploration is one thing, but intensively spending on cosmic-military power is effectively destructive. Perhaps, many nations -including Israel and China, are following this hot pursuit. With this race, Spacewar is real and inevitable: a no fallacy game. Boundaries initially created on Earth were an outcome of no-rule based system. Without an effective international governing system we will create cosmic barriers and lead to create a similar degraded society as we did on Earth. Therefore, an extra-terrestrial rule of law is essential because playing in the cosmic infinitude sparks unending conflicts among nations.
