Earth, the fantasy: the green, storied world where mankind originated. Earth, the reality: the junk planet, a dirty, dangerous place filled with detention camps, gangs and gangsters, flop houses, body parts factories, and a lawless immigrant community of aliens and humans. Ned believes the refugees from outer space have been interbreeding with cockroaches the size of dinosaurs. Em, pretty and slim, is seeking asylum; she thinks that Earth is unbelievably primitive. Space Junk is a coming-of-age tale in which true love and survival don't always walk hand-in-hand!

The influence of space power pervades almost every sphere and level of human existence, from politics to military affairs to commercial activities to cultural mind-sets. Yet there is little to be found today in the way of coherent space power doctrine and strategy, particularly in national security circles. To what extent do our national interests rely on space? How shall we defend our interests in space and how shall we deny our adversaries the benefits of space power in time of conflict? How can we control and exploit the space environment? How can we effectively wield space power against the full spectrum of threats -- from the lone terrorist to global peer competitors? What should be our long-range strategy and objectives if our goal is to achieve and maintain long-term space superiority? The purpose of this paper is two fold: first, to illuminate the historical and ever-increasing importance of space in modern society; and second, to prescribe, in view of this importance, the foundations of a strategy for achieving lasting space superiority and ensuring national and world security.

Seven gripping stories of adventure, exploration and love introduce memorable historical and original characters. In the early 16th century, Lawrence of Pannonia joins a peasant rebellion led by the heroic George Dozsa. In 1942, Japanese-American Andy Yamanago evades internment to take part in the Battle of Midway. Mother and daughter and a downed American airman find refuge and love on a Danubian farm in 1944. In the 1960s, a young immigrant finds work and friendship in Philadelphia and, ultimately, the Silicon Valley. In the 1980s, a Stanford physicist finds gold in California, receives the Nobel Prize, and pursues his dream of organizing the Danubian Federation. In the latter part of the 20th century, young people seek the elixir of youth among the redwoods of northern California, and receive a radio message with possible extraterrestrial origins. In the middle of the dynamic 21st century, the heroic crew of a starship sends an ice-teroid toward Mars to help its terraforming. The characters in these seven stories promise many surprises for the adventurous reader.
