Why an expansion of counterspace arsenals may bring peace.

Using knowledge of current and extrapolated incentive structures, we play out two scenarios: either we and our adversaries all develop and deploy more weapons, or we all continue along the path of attempting to ban counterspace weapons. We then try to determine which outcome is, if not better, at least less bad with potentially surprising results.  Come join us for an hour of annoying anyone in the room with security clearance as we discuss stealth satellites, nuclear weapons, debris-generation, and the Stefan-Boltzmann Law.
