When I take my dog out one last time in the evening I often find myself gazing up at the night sky and breathing in the vast tranquility of 'space'.  But there's an awful lot going on up there that we don't see.

 

A new battleground is emerging as thousands of satellites jockey for position in increasingly crowded orbits. It's a high-stakes gambit that pits superpowers and tech billionaires against one another in a competition for global dominance.

 

The fallout of the militarization of space could spell economic disaster and threaten world order.

 

This isn't science fiction.
