J. Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein argue that space vehicles, satellites and rockets project warfare from the horizontal plane to the vertical plane, meaning attack no longer comes from an exclusive direction or a determined country, making it practically impossible to determine the aggressor, intercept the attack, or effect immediate reprisals.

Attack no longer comes from an exclusive direction, nor from a determined country, but from the sky, with the practical impossibility of determining who the aggressor is, how to intercept the attack, or how to effect immediate reprisals.”
