Die USA brauchen neue Weltraumtechnologie, sonst „werden sie verlieren“, sagt der Chef der Space Force

The best and fastest way to do that, Saltzman said, is to strengthen the service’s relationship with commercial industry. “The Space Force must harness the benefits of technological innovation and emerging capabilities if we’re going to be able to out-compete our competitors, or Space Force will lose, the Joint Force will lose and the U.S. will lose.”

It’s almost like the U.S. should have not squandered the last 60 years by abandoning space travel altogether. Crazy thought right.

Funding… No funding no Buck Rogers. Development engineering cost a shit ton of money and the government doesn’t want to fund it. For good reason because of past experiences with CP contracts. And big corporations don’t want to fund FFP development contracts sooo… Also we have some of the smartest engineers in the world and know exactly what can be done.. IMA Space PM

The us accounts for more than 90% of all payload into space, so this is obviously just bullshit.

Mr. President, we can not haaaaaave a Space Force gap!

Interesting. Queue of the UFO crash retrieval program. “oh hey look at what Lockheed figured out over the last 80 years, let’s use that!”…
