Space assets could be held ransom. Will we have any choice but to pay?
Ransomware exploits value. Attackers put victims against a decision to pay for the hope of the return of their system or lose it. For victims, it is hard to justify not paying even though it sets a harmful precedent. At heart, this is an economics question that cyber professionals find it difficult to answer on Earth. In space, the steep initial investments, slow times to market and operational costs of satellites and in-orbit infrastructure make the payment of a future ransomware attack against a satellite nearly assured.

Companies are planning to build space critical infrastructure. Can space policy keep up?
Building space policy is hard enough. It’s harder when trying to make a future-focused policy decision based on abstract concepts. That’s really the problem with the space critical infrastructure conversation, isn’t it? When we talk about space services, we look at what we know, which is low Earth orbit (LEO), and services provided from LEO assets to Earth. We talk considerably less about cislunar travel or interplanetary travel even though there are plans for both in the less than distant future. The difference is that one is real today and one is abstract.
