With all the sudden hysteria about AI wiping us out, this is a real threat to consider.
Watch modern information based societies fall apart very quickly without critical space infrastructure. Its not an existential threat, but it does force us into a 'Mad Max' type scenario.

Pretty much all of NATO’s war planning then goes out the window as allies not prepared to fight w/o space.
