There's no aliens, I don't really like the militarization of space because it can only be used against other nations on earth. World domination is hard to avoid if you dominate space.
On the other hand, exploration has always been a military endeavour, since Alexander the Great.
I hope the tone can be more about exploration than defence. And that we open the space Frontier.
Fun fact: In his speech to the graduating class of 2019 at the U.S. Air Force Academy, GEOTUS said: "In order to dominate the future, America must dominate the sky".
Doesn't sound like he's trying to avoid domination, at all.

The thing is, just because we could opt out of exploring and militarizing space doesn't meant others will also adhere to that.
