    Interesting. Private companies infecting and taking all the federal military power.

    Its not like this could lead to rent seeking costs 20 years down the line or a potential coup.

    > ANYWAYS WE NEED A MISSILE DOME LARGE ENOUGH TO COVER THE ENTIRE FUCKING CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, WHICH WILL COST A VERY REASONABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY

    I’m sure SpaceX is in contention based purely on neutral and fair consideration, and isn’t being treated any differently from other bidders.

  4. For those not clicking on the link the other two companies are Palantir and Anduril

  5. I imagine they are expecting Hamas to launch cheaply made missiles from Canada, otherwise they wouldn’t be thinking about this.

    Awesome grift opportunity. Spend 3 years wasting government money on planning then immediately scrap the project when the next president enters office.

    Israel needs its multi-tier missile defense system because it’s surrounded by countries that hate it and can strike from near and far.

    With the policies they’re currently enacting, maybe the Trump Administration isn’t wrong about needing a complete missile defense system, short-range border rockets included.

  8. Oh my god Republicans already did this con… Republican voters are so stupid that they’ll fall for it again?
