Talk of Satellite Defense Raises Fears of Space War

Marc Kaufman writes in The Washington Post:

For a U.S. military increasingly dependent on sophisticated satellites for communicating, gathering intelligence and guiding missiles, the possibility that those space-based systems could come under attack has become a growing worry -- and the perceived need to defend them ever more urgent.

And that, in turn, is reviving fears in some quarters that humanity's conflicts could soon spread beyond Earth's boundaries.
