Space Shock

18 Threats That Will Define Space Power

About this book

China isn't aiming for the Moon-it is planning for control of space itself. By 2045, Beijing plans to dominate a $10 trillion Cislunar economy, beam power to Earth from orbit, and mine asteroids worth quintillions. Space Shock presents eighteen realistic "Sputnik moment" scenarios-created by the authors and stress-tested through wargames with senior space, defense, and policy experts-to reveal how America might respond. From satellite shootdowns to Lunar land grabs, it exposes critical vulnerabilities and offers the strategic roadmap to ensure the United States, not China, leads humanity's expansion into the final frontier.

A chilling glimpse into the futures we're not ready for. Every national security leader needs to read this-now.

- Lee Steinke, Chief Operating Officer, CisLunar Industries

Space Shock is a must read for all segments of society, from citizens to politicians...Bold action is required now!

- Steve Kwast, Lieutenant General (Ret) and Co-Founder of SpaceBilt Inc., a Space logistics company 

These scenarios don't just make you think-they make you uneasy...what would we do if this happened tomorrow?

- Joel B. Mozer, PhD, U.S. Space Force Chief Science Officer (retired)

This urgent critique is a wake-up call for policymakers to act decisively to improve America's space strategy-or risk surrendering the future of space to China.

- Dr. Mir Sadat, former National Security Council Policy Director (2019-2020).

We ignore these insights at our peril.

- John Paul "JP" Parker, Former Special Advisor for Space, Cyber, Intelligence, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Science and Technology to the Vice President of the United States

Mr. Richard M. Harrison is the Vice President of Operations and Director of the Defense Technology Program at American Foreign Policy Council (AFPC) where he co-dir
