I am the Chairman of several leading space companies and an active investor in the space sector. Currently, I serve as Executive Chairman of York Space Systems, SpiderOak, TrustPoint, and as Chairman of the SmallSat Alliance, which I co-founded.
In just five years after its creation, the Air Force had already proven the decisiveness of air dominance by demonstrating its critical role in winning the Korean War. From that moment began its now official motto:As the Space Force approaches its fifth anniversary, the defining purpose that captures what it uniquely delivers to the fight remains frustratingly elusive. This certainly is not due to a lack of effort or passion. Guardians have made considerable progress in defining the new service.
As the pace of modern conflict accelerates and the battlefield evolves with it, so too has the threat environment. Rising threats from China, Russia, and other nations investing heavily in their own space capabilities are a stark reminder that speed is critical. The Center for Strategic and International Studies of currently government designed and directed space systems and acquisition regulations that discourage rather than reward innovation.
In today’s contested space domain, any country’s space prowess will be defined more by its software and networks than hardware, which makes capability deployment speed a matter of survival in everything it does. The Space Force’s future depends on its ability to adapt—to embrace a culture centered around speed, where every Guardian operates with the urgency their mission demands.
Many of today’s Space Force leaders began their careers as Air Force Officers, managing critical components of the nuclear triad. They are no strangers to high-stakes decisions and the pressure of rapid execution. Now, they must lead a new triad on orbit: computers, software, and data, and instill that same instinctive urgency across the service.
In this new era of fierce space competition, the US Space Force will be defined by its ability to adapt to and embrace a culture where speed is paramount. If we cannot adopt the quick pace of the tech sector, we will never be able to leverage their strengths in a meaningful way and risk forfeiting our strategic edge. America’s dominance in space, and its security at home, depend on it.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
