I'm pretty sure "planetary defense" just means more imperial offense.

Technology under capitalism is a force for exploitation, violence, control, etc.

@[email protected] is right. I hunt and track asteroids. If I'm offending on behalf of an empire with this work, the empire is humanity and the offense is against chunks of rocks in space

I'm offended on behalf of myself. You are the reason I cannot reasonably assume humanity will die off in a meteor strike that allows nature time to heal.

But then it was a long shot anyway...

"planetary defense" usually means tracking and maybe deflecting asteroids that are likely to hit Earth.
