As space exploration projects like Elon Musk's SpaceX start to lift off toward other planets (SpaceX's Crew Dragon will be the first commercially built spacecraft to fly NASA astronauts to the international space station on May 27), the United States Space Force is already thinking about potential future conflicts among humans in outer space. Dr. Saadia Pekkanen, the co-founding Director at the University of Washington Space Policy and Research Center, will talk about some trends she and her team are noticing, and why it's essential to understand them before they evolve in real life.
