Gen. John Raymond says Space Force’s goal is to ‘deter’ conflicts in space

Gen. John Raymond, the first chief of space operations of the U.S. Space Force, says space is a war-fighting domain, explaining that “China and Russia have developed weapons that can disrupt our satellites or destroy our satellites.” He adds that Space Force’s goal is to not get into conflicts that begin or extend into space. “Our goal is to deter that from happening.”
