The most significant is also one of the most basic. If you drop something, it falls down. If you drop something from a very high place, it hits VERY hard.

How much junk do we have orbiting the earth right now? When things do fall hard from space, it is a very unfortunate random event; fortunately the population on earth is still relatively sparse.
And a government that creates a technology that makes nukes obsolete is safer than a corporation that develops it?

Somehow putting faith in a corporation to develop these systems seems more beneficial than governements.
