#Trump ally #ElonMusk's #rocket & #satellite company #SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner alongside #software firm #Palantir & #drone maker #Anduril to build key components of the system, Reuters reported last month.

Many of the early systems are expected to come from existing production lines. Attendees at the WhiteHouse presser w/Trump on Tues named #L3Harris, #LockheedMartin & #RTXCorp as potential contractors for the massive project.

The concept includes #space-based #missiles that would launch from #satellites in orbit to intercept conventional & nuclear missiles launched from Earth.

"I think it's opening a Pandora's box," said Victoria Samson, dir of space #security & stability at the Secure World Foundation think tank in Washington, referring to deploying missiles in space. "We haven't truly thought about the long-term consequences for doing so," she added.

Under President #Biden, US Space Force had grown vocal about a need for greater offensive space capabilities due to #space-based threats from #Russia & #China.

When #Trump announced his #GoldenDome plan in January, it was a clear shift in strategy, one that emphasizes a move into #space w/ #expensive, #untested #technology that *could* be a financial boon to US #defense contractors [or just #ElonMusk].

The announcement of #Trump’s #GoldenDome, a vast network of #satellites & #weapons in Earth's orbit set to cost $175 billion, could sharply escalate the militarization of #space, a trend that has intensified over the last decade.

While the world's biggest space powers - the #US, #Russia & #China - have put #military & #intelligence assets in orbit since the 1960s, they have done so mostly in secrecy.

Besides being unrealistic & outrageously expensive, #Trump's #GoldenDome plan could launch new era of #weapons in #space

Trump's Golden Dome missile defense concept revives a controversial, decades-old initiative whose ambitious construction could upend norms in outer space & reshape relations between the world's top space powers.

Leading US #climate #science agency is in “gridlock” because Commerce Sec #Lutnick promised to inspect every #NOAA contract over $100,000 w stated aim of cutting #waste. But he has a huge backlog, #TedCruz warned programs “from post-#hurricane #flood assessment to janitorial services” are being held up. The delays come at a bad time: #Storms and# tornadoes killed 28 people last weekend, and more #severe #weather may be on the way. scientificamerican.com/article #publichealth #FEMA #disasters
