Aaron Bateman. "Weapons in Space: Technology, Politics, and the Rise and Fall of the Strategic Defense Initiative" (MIT Press, 2024)

Q: What key lessons should policymakers today learn from this history?

There are substantial definitional challenges with arms control related to space weapons, and missile defense is intricately linked to U.S. nuclear strategy and the cost implications of offense versus defense.

Aaron Bateman. "Weapons in Space: Technology, Politics, and the Rise and Fall of the Strategic Defense Initiative" (MIT Press, 2024)

Q: What are the implications of the Strategic Defense Initiative on the current space security environment?

SDI has led to a permanent missile defense infrastructure in the U.S., and its legacy persists in current geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding the fears of nations like China and Russia about U.S. missile defense capabilities being revived.

Aaron Bateman. "Weapons in Space: Technology, Politics, and the Rise and Fall of the Strategic Defense Initiative" (MIT Press, 2024)

Q: What is the Strategic Defense Initiative and why did you decide to write a book about it?

The Strategic Defense Initiative is a controversial missile defense program initiated during the Reagan administration aimed at creating a layered missile defense system. The motivation for the book was to examine the interplay between the technologies and the politics surrounding the program, as there were no significant archives-based histories on the subject.
