Praise for SPACE PIRACY
"Throughout time, mankind has used new technologies for good and evil. Today, a vast segment of the world's population uses space daily for comforts and necessities. Chillingly, Feldman and Taylor warn of space's vulnerabilities to potential malice. Space Piracy is essential reading for anyone committed to ensuring that space remains available to advance peace, freedom, science, and civilization."
-BARBARA BARRETT, Former Secretary of the Air Force and Ambassador to Finland
"The confluence of economic expansion in outer space, combined with technological advances, including increasing connectivity and reliance on cyber networks, means the threat of criminal activity in and affecting outer space activities is real. It is important that the space community begins to think through these issues in earnest now and proactively address the threat of space piracy. Space Piracy: Preparing for a Criminal Crisis in Orbit is the first book I've read that is dedicated to the subject of space piracy. It breaks new ground by introducing the reader to the issue of space piracy across a breadth of subjects."
-DR. MICHAEL C. MINEIRO, Senior Counsel, Space Practice Group Co-Lead, Akin
"This is a serious meditation on a space future that is all too plausible. Anyone concerned with building a safe and robust space economy-lawmakers, policymakers, law enforcement, CEOs, space - security officers, and the USSPACECOM and US Space Force commanders-should read this book. A well-researched and fascinating synthesis of the history and current-day piracy, privateering, organized crime and syndicates, cyber-crime, private security companies-and how and why they might plausibly move to space."
-PETER GARRETSON, Senior Fellow in Defense Studies, American Foreign Policy Council and Author of Scramble for the Skies: The Great Power Competition to Control the Resources of Outer Space and The Next Space Race: A Blueprint for American Primacy
"Space Piracy thrusts you into the near future of humanity, where expansion into the solar system has sparked a new era of planetary trade and geopolitical intrigue. But with new frontiers come new dangers. This book takes you into a universe where space is not just the final frontier, but a battleground for power rife with geopolitical and economic rivalries, with states, powerful corporations and rogue actors vying and competing for control over precious territories and resources. Prepare for a high-stakes adventure where the future of the space economy hangs in the balance."
-DENIS BENSOUSSAN, Head of Space, Beazley plc
