- Should the United States lose the new space race, it will lose the Earth.
This domain is divided into various zones.
- First there are the orbits around the Earth: low-Earth orbit, medium-Earth orbit, and geosynchronous orbit.
- Ancillary to those orbits are the Lagrange points, which are the orbits separating the Earth from its moon.
- Next up is the Earth-Moon system.
If you control the orbits around the Earth and the Lagrange points—as well as the moon itself—you effectively have total dominance over the Earth below.
