@bleddb has written a fantastic summary of where things stand with Biden Admin space policy that also cuts through some of the less helpful clichés about outer space. Space Force likely isn’t going anywhere. https://spacewatch.global/2021/01/spacewatchgl-column-biden-harris-space-policy-building-on-the-space-force-and-artemis/
Space Force’s public pronouncements are grim, yes. Militarism is poisoning public life on both sides of the Atlantic but space has never been a sanctuary. There are some dreadful takes floating around depicting Space Force as an unprecedented “militarisation” of space.
Like so many things in space, the problem is back on Earth, as long as militaries desire to achieve a logistical advantage over their enemies and aerospace companies can profit from that desire, we’ll continue to see militaries use space.
What we can do is to try and defuse tensions and promote responsible and sustainable activities in space. Cooperation in space doesn’t lead to better relations between earthly nations but it can help bring down the temperature and establish norms of conduct.
Space isn't going to be the final battleground and it isn't going to be the magical solution to all our diplomatic problems. The real problem is Earthly militarism, not fretting about the spectre of space warfare tarnishing a sanctuary that never existed.
