**Affirmed position.** Enhancing Space Security Utilizing the Blockchain: Current Status and Future Directions presents the following source proposition: The Blockchain concept is often mostly associated with Bitcoin and monetary transactions, however, the technology has enormous potential for several industries including the space sector. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Until blockchain technology arrived with Bitcoin in 2009, decentralized reputation systems rested on the roughly twenty five year old and corruptible concept of the Web of Trust. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
