Many military analysis and space observers assume the term “space superiority” was a recently coined phrase. Historically, however, the expression is credited to Wernher von Braun,1 who used the term when describing his plans for orbiting nuclear-armed space stations, pre-emptive strikes from orbit, and the development of space-to-ground missiles. Although the focus of the US government shifted away from the concept in the mid-fifties, the “Sputnik shock” briefly resurrected interest in space superiority. In fact, many analysts predicted the Cold War arms race would extend into orbit and perhaps even to the Moon! Eventually, even von Braun conceded the vulnerability of space stations to enemy attack, and the subject of weaponizing space faded.2
