Shanahan, Wilson, Goldfein offer views for ensuring U.S. superiority in space

The top echelon of the United States’ civilian and military leadership offered unflinching assurances April 9, that America’s superiority in space will endure even as competition – and the stakes – for primacy intensify.

Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson emphasized the importance of the U.S. maintaining its dominance in space during a speech April 9, 2019, at the 35th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colo. “America is the best in the world at space, and our adversaries know it,” she said.
