Space-based defenses offer revolutionary advantages over existing National Missile Defenses (NMD), that cannot protect U.S. allies or bases overseas, might be hard-pressed to defend the U.S. mainland against increasingly sophisticated North Korean threats, and cannot defend the U.S. from large-scale nuclear missile threats from Russia or China.

America's ties to the frigid, 800,000-square-mile territory go back to the 1940s and have historically been military in nature; the U.S. Air Force maintains its northernmost base in Thule, 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle, which also hosts radar systems that scan for nuclear missile launches against the U.S. homeland.

This is the maximum number, argue Joshua Pearce, a professor at Michigan Technological University, and David Denkenberger, an assistant professor at Tennessee State University, beyond which the blowback from a nuclear strike will affect the aggressor nation in the form of environmental, socioeconomic, and agricultural devastation, in addition to serious losses of life at home—even in the event the enemy doesn't retaliate with its own nuclear missile strike.

And—before you start trotting out made-up "statistics" about how nuclear missiles are more likely to be used on a relative than on an intruder—yes, we store our arsenal on a shelf out of the kiddies' reach, and of course we're teaching them responsible nuclear-missile protocol, requiring two-person key-turning simultaneity, choosing a launch code with at least six letters and numbers plus a special character, and keeping the safety on when they play Kennedys and Khrushchevs.
