What suggestions do you have for continuing to develop the content or ideas? For example, what do you think should be added either as a main point or as a sub-point?

FOR THE FISRT 3 DISCUSSIONS:
What suggestions do you have for your peer to continue refining his or her paper?
What suggestions do you have for continuing to develop the content or ideas? For example, what do you think should be added either as a main point or as a sub-point?
What suggestions do you have for organizing the ideas more logically? For example, what would be another method your peer should consider for organizing the ideas? Why?
What clarifying questions do you have regarding a main point in the preliminary outline? For example, you could ask for more information about a main point if its relationship to the rest of the post is unclear.

Direct Quote:
“NASA eventually paid SpaceX nearly $400 million under the Commercial Cargo program. Much of that money went into the development of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. At the same time, NASA was still working on its own Ares 1 project–which would have cost about $20 billion had it been completed” (Meigs, 2020, para 8).
Paraphrase:
According to Meigs (2020), NASA was able to save $400 million dollars by using SpaceX. This is staggering considering the fact that the Ares 1 project would have eventually cost the American Taxpayer approximately $20 billion dollars. (Meigs, 2020)

Direct Quote:
“SpaceX’s current largest Falcon Heavy rocket is capable of lifting twice as much cargo into Earth’s orbit as the Delta IV Heavy (the world’s second most powerful operating rocket) for only a third of the price” (Jozič et al., 2020, p. 1).
Paraphrase:
When comparing the cost savings provided by private companies, Jozic (2020) found that the Falcon Heavy can lift twice the cargo for a third of the price, compared to NASA’s Delta IV Heavy rocket.

Summary:
In the near future there will be an expansion of exploration beyond the borders and limits of our known world. The industrialization of space currently generates $350 billion in revenue and is expected to rise to over a trillion dollars by the year 2040(Altabef, 2021, p.3). The problem areas are broken into two main areas, exploitation and contamination. Currently there are no legal means of protecting celestial bodies, other than the “Moon Treaty” (Altabef, 2021, p.7). Although a step in the right direction, there is not an enforcement body present to enforce the treaty. Using the United Nations to grant “personhood” is the only way to hold private enterprise accountable, and to protect celestial bodies in the future.

Direct Quote: Systems may be built with security measures, but those measures may be compromised by human behavior (Scala et al, 2019 3.5b para 1)
Paraphrase: Many, if not all, modern computer and networking systems come with some form of cybersecurity measures including authentication, firewalls, encryption, etc., but the human behavior aspect can override these protections (Scala et al, 2019)

Direct Quote: One of the most common means used by cybercriminals in ransomware attacks is phishing emails. With this attack vector, the criminals send emails containing malicious links or attachments, and if recipients click those links or attachments, they become yet another ransomware victim (Stephens Jr, 2021. para 9)
Paraphrase: One of the best practices in avoiding cyber attacks is not to open attachments or emails you do not recognize (Stephens Jr, 2021).

Summary: Many cybercriminals prefer to use phishing or social engineering to gain access to a network or a specific account (Singer, 2014). Individuals attempting a phishing attack routinely send familiar looking emails from institutions you may trust. These emails contain links to a webpage that may look normal but would have differences such as a typo in the URL. They rely on you to overlook the smaller details and provide them with your account information. The desired targets are usually lower level or junior employees since they seem to be the most likely to divulge account information. Scrutinizing emails is a simple first step to protecting yourself online.
