NATO creates Space Center in Germany in move towards future Star Fleet

On November 22, the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg
confirmed that a Space Center would be established at Ramstein
Air Base in Germany. The base is controlled by the US Air Force
and the Space Center will coordinate closely with the newly
established US Space Force and Space Command.   


The NATO Space Center has been authorized less than two weeks
after the Artemis Accords were signed by eight nations. The
Artemis Accords establish the framework of a multinational space
alliance that cooperate in protecting their personnel, resources
and operations in space from "harmful interference".
   


In addition, the creation of the Space Center comes one year
after a Space Futures Workshop where USAF Space Command (now
Space Force)) experts discussed the evolution of military affairs
in space over the next 40 years. The Space Futures Workshop
envisaged 8 feasible scenarios.   


The most favorable was a Star Trek future where a US led
coalition of nations  dominate space and introduce
free-world laws and processes. The least favorable is where a
country like China dominates space and introduces laws and
processes that promote their own interests.   


The creation of a NATO Space Center weeks after the signing of
the Artemis Accords and the 2019 creation of a US Space Force and
Space Command, is the start of a long process of establishing a
Star Trek future. This is the most optimistic space future where
Earth and our solar system are protected by a multinational Star
Fleet promoting principles of personal liberty, democracy and
government transparency.
