On February 22, Kelly Grieco published an article in SpaceNews, cautioning against space alarmism. She argues that such space race concerns can drive misperceptions and unnecessary spending and that the United States should focus on cooperation in space over competition.
According to Grieco, “Mutually beneficial scientific cooperation between the United States and China mitigates the risks of turning all U.S.-China relations into zero-sum competition. Let the missile gap myth be a cautionary tale.”
