Gen. Lance Lord of AFSPC says that last week’s Pacific Space Leadership Forum provided an opportunity for Pacific theater allies to learn what space can do for them. In a Daily Report interview, Lord said, “Space is helping us deal with the tyranny of distance”—a major issue in the broad area that falls under US Pacific Command.
