            The type of ethics covered in the article is under the normative kind. The ethics referred to in this context point to the action carried out and the consequences that arise. The main aspect of the ethics covered in the normative form is representative of wrongness or rightness of any actions done. In the article, the information based on potential warfare in space is reminiscent of the actions ought to be taken by the countries involved. Space is essential to man, existence especially with the availability of technology aimed at making life easier, solving problems, and providing critical information for the resilience demands. However, ethics demand an equivocal responsibility towards the activities and operations carried out in space. Normative ethics demand a logical and analytical approach towards the actions carried out as well as evaluation of the consequences gained from the actions.

            After reading the article, one gets a sense of fear on the impeding consequences that can become of the space wars. The developed nations interested in propagating their activities in space have documented capabilities of military strength, financial muscle, and technological advancement. They contain the measures of full-blown war especially when conflicts and misunderstandings arise from their activities without any form of consented regulation. Ethically, regulations should be the focal point of all activities, determining the level of rightness or wrongs of the actions. This is because the consequences anticipated can lead to expensive and atrocious wars, capable of wiping out humanity. It includes ramification to countries that have no military power and financial muscle like the developing nations, yet they are not part of the activities in space. Ethically, it is a wrong starting point to all people.
