The American NASA in recent years has been seeking a stable presence on the moon.
This will require scientific research and commercial development.
And in order for these to work, a security force will be needed to protect both people and facilities.
Such a security service today exists with the sole purpose of protecting satellites.
The new goals will require the development of new technologies that will monitor the space between the Earth and the Moon.
Perhaps this is also due to the fact that China is now a rising power in the space issue and it is possible that the US is changing its priorities.
What is certain is that the militarization of space is the new reality.
