## Resource

The U.S. Space Force revealed what it thinks could be the threats, where those threats are located, and what it will need by 2040. The revelations will not only serve the service branch, but should guide C-suites, entrepreneurs, investors, and technologists for years to come. Laura Winter speaks with Joel Mozer, the first Chief Scientist of the U.S. Space Force; and Peter Garretson, Senior Fellow in Defense Studies at the American Foreign Policy Council and author of three books on space power, the latest of which is "Space Shock: 18 Threats That Will Define Space Power."
