CBS This Morning Highlights Military Space

CBS This Morning ran Part 1 of a segment about the military space program.  Nothing really new, but a good summary of current DOD thinking about space as a warfighting domain, not a sanctuary, as they’ve been saying for the past many months.

Part 2 will air tomorrow morning (Wednesday).
