But if we don't pay attention to it and design it with the wisdom of what we have learned about how humans evolved into a new domain, we will repeat the sins of the past. This is about understanding ourselves, understanding human nature, understanding technology and culture, and then ushering in a geopolitical evolution of nations that all benefit from what space will do for our economies.

Well, I would reframe the question and say that we need to pay attention to the technologies that are being developed and what they could do. Because every technology can be used for good or for bad. And you need to be able to play in that environment if somebody were to do something bad.

You know, one of the simple statements of somebody in my position as a national security professional is be prepared for the unexpected.

So as I watch, for example, another country developing solar power from space, which is the technology of capturing the sun's intense energy in space, where there's no night and day, there's no weather to get in the way of the sun, and then transforming that into a radio wave and beaming it to Earth to be able to turn it back into electricity on the Earth, which is one of the things I talked about in that Hillsdale speech,

that can be used for peaceful purposes. I mean, that can be used to immediately send electricity to the tribe I grew up in Africa that has no power plant, no power lines, nothing, because the topography is so aggressive. The transportation modalities are so insufficient that nobody would have the affordable business case to build them the electricity they need. But one satellite

could deliver electricity to that spot and a thousand other spots. But let's say if one of our competitors develops that infrastructure in space and they use that to uplift the human condition by providing electricity to people who don't have it, in a millisecond, they could turn it into a directed energy weapon to destroy the people. at that location. So let me give an analogy of air power.

If you read the literature after 1903 when the Wright brothers invented the airplane, it was like our Federalist Papers where there were some good arguments about the fact that it is immoral to develop an airplane because you could drop a bomb on somebody's head. And others saying it is moral to develop an airplane because you can transport a sick person to the hospital and save their life.
