Original: Militarizing the Final Frontier — How Space Became the New Battleground

The piece examines how satellites, anti-satellite weapons and space-based defense programs are turning the final frontier into a competitive military arena, raising concerns about arms races and the lack of binding international rules governing conflict beyond Earth.
