We're going to see a militarization of earth's orbit at some point.
The terror weapon of the 80's was the concept of FOBS, it reduces the warning time to zero and gets rid of nuclear missile launches. It also allows you to destroy electrical grids.
I also expect that the next space race is going to be more around for this nation instead of for all of mankind.
