I recently read Spacepower Ascendant by Joshua Carlson. In it, he talks openly about the threat of China and how the U.S.'s current strategy will lead to us losing the war in Space. I think everyone should read or listen (because it is available on audible) this book. I'm excited to dive deeper not only into the book Joshua wrote, but also new things that have happened since its publication. This episode while not focused on women in the military, I think is an important topic to cover. As a woman with a degree in Engineering I find space and science really exciting and interesting and I think more women should consider careers in Space and the Space Force. I'm hoping this episode can help inspire women to consider working in Space while also helping everyone learn a little more about why Space is an important topic to discuss.
