It may be that the spaceships will be flagged by smaller nations... just as many US ships are flagged in Panama to eliminate regulations, duties, licenses and taxes. Look at the equatorial countries to offer up launch bases.

Space mercenaries will offer up their services to take down low orbit satellites (with a low caliber machine gun) with no trace back to the sponsering nation. Look for an increase in space adventure fiction and books... along the lines of SciFi in from the 40's & 50's. note: truncate the subject line if replying to original post... it is too long for DB.

Maybe this prediction should have been narrowed a bit. I doubt I'll remember "buying" this in 2014.
